 I had the same problems with all external protocols that I tried to use. 
It seemed as though the log files were being deleted somehow. I got
around it in my batch files that call the protocols. It isn't pretty but 
it seems to work for me. 
This is my batch file and Protocol.ctl for HS/link. Hope it helps. 
  HSLNK.BAT 
 copy junk.txt dsz.log                    JUNK.TXT is a 0 length file 
hslink -p%1 %2 -Ud:\file\uncheck         just to make sure there is a 
copy trx.log + dsz.log fred.log          DSZ.LOG file. TRX.LOG is the 
del trx.log                              final up/down log file. 
ren fred.log trx.log 
  PROTOCOL.CTL 
  Protocol HSLink 
         Type            Batch 
 ;       Type            Errorlevel 
 ;       Type            Bi 
 ;       Type            Opus 
          LogFile         DSZ.Log 
         ControlFile     HSlink.ctl 
         DownloadCmd     hslnk %P @%x:hslink.Ctl 
         UploadCmd       hslnk %P 
         DownloadString  %s 
         UploadString 
         DownloadKeyword h 
         UploadKeyword   H 
         FilenameWord    10 
         DescriptWord    0 
End Protocol 
 P.S. I'm new to this too so if anyone has a better idea please let me 
know. 
Colin.
