I keep a directory that is updated from another host periodically and
is used in the Digital Librarian.  To keep the index up-to-date I have
attempted to use command "ixBuild" from the command line,

	ixBuild -l -V -F <directory name>

However, after most updates using this method if I then try to search
the directory Digital Librarian will quit.  The only way to rectify
the problem is to trash the old index and completely build a new one,
a four hour process.

Is there something I am forgetting when using ixBuild from the command
line?
