This section of the manual also says "If no match is found the message will be saved to $record mailbox." -- so I wonder if it would be easier to get things working to set $record to be "=Sent" and skip that wildcard-only fcc-hook line. (Also, I noticed that in the example hook given in that section, the backslash character in the regexp was itself backslashed... though off hand I don't see how that alone would explain the behavior you [Mike] are currently seeing.)
