Running a little (cough) watchdbg regex:

   watchdbg 'I [-\w]+ PC92\^[-\w]+\^[\.\d]+\^A\^.*PA4JJ'

I see stuff like this:

20:10:01 <- I GB7DJK PC92^HP2AT-4^72600^A^^5PA4JJ-1:217.122.0.102^H96^

and then this:

20:30:01 <- I WR3D PC92^N3QO-1^73801^A^^5PA4JJ^H95^
20:30:01 <- I WR3D PC92^N3QO-1^73801.02^A^^7PA4JJ^H97^
20:30:01 <- I GB7DJK PC92^N3QO-1^73801.02^A^^7PA4JJ^H95^
20:35:01 <- I GB7BAA PC92^KC2CWT-9^74100^A^^5PA4JJ:217.122.0.102^H95^
20:35:01 <- I GB7DJK PC92^KC2CWT-9^74100^A^^5PA4JJ:217.122.0.102^H96^
20:35:01 <- I GB7BAA PC92^KC2CWT-9^74101^A^^7PA4JJ:217.122.0.102^H95^
20:35:01 <- I GB7DJK PC92^KC2CWT-9^74101^A^^7PA4JJ:217.122.0.102^H96^

The callsign for the connection at HP2AT-4 is correct - if it is the 
your DXSpider node doing the connecting.

However the callsigns for N3QO-1 and KC2CWT-9 are not. I am guessing 
here that you are trying to connect both your DXSpider node and your 
AR-C node to both of these (the 5PA4JJ = DXSpider and the 7PA4JJ = AR-C 
[or non-pc92 based) node).

The connect scripts for both of these are wrong. You are logging in as 
PA4JJ and not as PA4JJ-1 or -2 as appropriate. You need to change the 
callsigns you use at the login: prompt when you connect. For the 
DXSpider connect script, do the same as for HP2AT-4.

Also you are connecting quite frequently (between 5 and 15 minutes) 
which suggests that your partners are somewhat confused. This may well 
be sorted by logging in with the correct callsign(s).
