Just re-reading this, so OK purging stuff to remove, you do this first then
usually pack bases thereafter to remove any gaps in the JAM files.

Same questions as per my earlier reply apply, what does the ini look like
that you run, make sure you have logging at level 3, what do the logs show
after you run MUTIL? ... and do you run this when no users are online and no
other events are running, you should do that.

Here's how my purge.ini looks

[General]

    ; list of functions to perform on startup

    PurgeMessageBases  = true

    logfile=mutil.log

    ; Level 1 = basic
    ; Level 2 = verbose
    ; Level 3 = debug

    loglevel=3

    ; logfile time stamp.  defaults to NNN DD HH:II:SS if not set here
    ;logstamp = YYYYHHMMHHIISS

    ; Log roller type 0=roll by number of files/size  1=roll by number of days
    logtype = 0

    ; number of log files to keep (0 to disable log rolling)
    maxlogfiles = 10

    ; size of each log file in kilobytes
    maxlogsize = 1000000

[PurgeMessageBases]

    ; No options for this function
