[Asterisk-Dev] smsq

I am getting a little confused/lost with smsq and app_sms.  I managed to 
get smsq compiled and working.  If I issue the command (UK SMS) :-

smsq --motx-channel=Zap/1/17094009 00000 register

then smsq writes the message into /var/spool/asterisk/sms/motx as 
0.1125564277-22383.1 with contents of :-

da=00000
ud=register

a file is also written into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ as 
smsq.motx.0.1125564277-22383.1 with contents of :-

Channel: Zap/1/17094009
Callerid: SMS <0>
Application: SMS
Data: 0
MaxRetries: 10
RetryTime: 1
WaitTime: 10

All this looks correct to me, but then app_sms in Asterisk acts on the 
file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and makes an outgoing call to 
'17094009', but it then scans /var/spool/asterisk/sms/me-sc.0 for any 
messages (obviously there are not any there as the message got written in 
/var/spool/asterisk/sms/motx), it gets the SMS header from the SMSC (SMS 
RX 93 00 6D 00 00 00 ...), then looks for messages in 
/var/spool/asterisk/sms/me-sc.0, does not find any messages so sends 
SMS_REL (SMS TX 94 00 6C 00 00 00...).

What do I need to do to get the messages from /var/spool/asterisk/sms/motx 
into /var/spool/asterisk/sms/me-sc.0
