don't know how often I've read your message to understand what's your question 
is, but probably I've got it ...


with makenl_ng there are two options to define segment files:

    segment.
or
    segment.*


with
    segment.
 the segment files have to be in the order of 7-days frequency that fits to 
current week. Current (friday) nodelist is nodelist.319
so also all subsegment files have to be .319 ...  .318 or .317 or other namings 
doesn't work and such files will be ignored completely !

but handling is ... to keep the last weeks nodelist and create this weeks 
nodelist. next week, the older list will be cleaned up. so there are no more 
than 2 lists (this week and previous week) in your master directory

with
    segment.*
 you can make daily nodelists .. but the automatic cleanup is disabled.
With segment.* all subsegments with any daynumber .317 or .318 or .319 will be 
accepted. But after running 3 or 4 weeks, you have a mass of "old" segments in 
your master directory ... so you have to do some manualy cleanup

hope this helps
