First, thanks Darker. Fixed my wall bump prob right up. I've encountered a new one now. Here's the output:

<218/229 0/25 285/350>[673924]open north
n
It's already open.

<218/229 0/25 285/350>[673924]That room is private right now.

The mapper still moves to the north, even though i have "that room is private right now" on a #nodir trigger.

I obviously can't have "it's already open" as a nodir, because that would mess up my speed walk, right?

Also, the following movement created a door link, when there is no door there:

<75/229 0/25 74/350>[673924]e
Intersection of Vertic Avenue and Justice Road
You stand at the intersection of Vertic Avenue and Justice Road. To the
north you can see the massive north gate of Darkhaven, known as Darktrail.
Justice Road lies to the east and west, while Vertic Avenue can be seen
to the north and south.
Exits: north east south west
A mystical spring flows majestically from a glowing circle of blue.
A poor man paces here, trying to sell what he has found.

<75/229 0/25 72/350>[673924]w
Justice Road
You are walking cautiously through this part of Justice Road. Lately you
have heard rumors of thieves prowling these parts, mocking the very name
of the road. The cobbled street ranges to the east and west.
Exits: east west
A stern guard patrols the streets, maintaining Duke Luther's order.
A poor man paces here, trying to sell what he has found.
The Darkhaven guard glares icily at you, you feel cold to your bones.

Doors are created several times when there aren't any. Any idea's?

Thanks for your help.

The mapper automaticaally creates doors for exits that you pass succesfully if there was no unknown link in that direction. The standaard disclamer is that the mapper is not perfect and you should verify what it produces for you. You can manually set the exit to normal, or if you notice it didn't pick up an existing exit use the #LOOK command.
In the case of the private room it is likely that you made the nodir trigger after mapping the room, and have a description of "That room is private right now." for the room.
You may also wish to add a trigger for "It's already open." with the command of #NOMAP.
