Your definition of the logical FLQ_DIR is either missing or wrong,
most likely.  FLQ_DIR should point to the MX QUEUE directory
([MX.QUEUE], unless you specified some other directory at installation
time).

Also, you should make sure MX_MAILSHR and MX_MAILSHRP are defined as
MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHR and MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHRP respectively.
