Maybe behaviour changed from v2 to v3, here (these servers still
on v2 :-( ) the .work file appears and vanishes every second or
two.

But sounds like it's doing the right thing. Is it actually broken,
or are the records making their way into the database?

If not, try adding e.g. a new "detail" instance in the
buffered-sql virtual server to see what it's reading, or use a
debug_request and run in debug mode to make sure it's picking up
the data.
