Ask again for a folder that moved, and carry entries left while a disk was away (hq ADR 0325)

The engine names the filesystem a waiting folder is on; a warrant is recorded for that filesystem, and a
folder on another is asked about again and not taken there meanwhile. Entries the engine could not take
out while their disk was away, stated before a send, do not hold that delivery's gate. mesh-host pinned
