Unable to file_remove on Linux Setup

Hi Everyone,

New to nxlog, so apologies in advance! I am currently deploying nxlog on a Linux server (Red Hat Enterprise release 6.6). I am currently trying to remove a file after nxlog has finished processing. From the documentation, I am using file_remove, which is not working. Here is my config that does not throw any syntax errors when starting nxlog. In the debug log, I do not see an attempt to try and match files for removing:

<Extension fileop>
 Module   xm_fileop
    <Schedule>
        Every   1 min
        Exec    file_remove('/eventarchive/processed/*.raw', (now()));
    </Schedule>
</Extension>

I used this same syntax on a windows setup to test it, which worked - it successfully removed files. Does anyone know if there are any limitations with Linux that would stop this from working? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

As a side question, does anyone know the best way to configure nxlog to remove a file after processing, as opposed to setting a time interval like above?

Thanks in advance!
