POA log files shows configuration over and over

After moving a post office from one cluster node to another, the POA does come up however the only thing shown in the log file is the configuration over and over.  The users can log into the post office and mail is flowing however nothing at all is captured in the log file.

It turned out that the post office directory was missing the .dc files.  Once they were copied to the directory, and the POA restarted, it started logging correctly.
