The problem is I have a blank line at the top of the Mbox. I DO NOT have 2 From lines.

And if you remove the blank lines? Do they return after new mail or is there another trigger such as a deletion? Is it for all users? I haven't used mbox in a while but as far as I remember a blank line was the seperator, so that suggests that this isn't being removed from the top of the file after a mail is deleted.
