FTP channel - not processing files, coz one of the files is wrong,

Question

Hi all,
     I have an FTP adapter which has Seeburger modules for charset conversion. It is supposed to poll a dir. Read the file and delete it with a QoS Exactly once and file type as binary.
If the files in the directory I poll are all good ones, then the scenario goes smooth. But when one of the files is wrong(structure of the file is not correct), the adapter gives
Error: javax.resource.ResourceException: --- Conversion of synchronous request from module chain ended with errors ---[Error:ID=2099;LEVEL=1] InhouseDocReader doSyntaxCheck(): offset[119]: the found segment UNB is not in the message description. DESCRIPTION: InhouseDocReader Error: The Segment UNB is missing in the message description. Check your file.
My problem is, when such an error happens, the adapter does not go to the next file. It kind of goes to a loop. So even if there are good files in the directory, they are not read because a wrong file is blocking the adapter’s way. Hope the issue is clear !
Any idea about why is this? Is there a way to tell the adapter to ignore the wrong one and proceed to the next?
Otherwise, is there a way to rename the wrong file in such a way that the adapter can proceed to the next file or move the wrong file to another directory?
We are at SP8, someone was telling SP10 solves this , not sure, is there a way to fix this in SP8, because, i can't change SP level at the moment ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Archive Source Files with Errors
To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor.
More information: MessageTransformBean, Migrating Dispatcher Classes
○       Specify the Directory for Error Archiving.
○       To add a time stamp to the archived file, select Add Time Stamp.
Can some one please tell me how to do this ?
cheers
