<p>I'm pretty sure I had my transcripts, school reports, and counselor recs sent in October, but I didn't submit my actual application until last weekend. Now, when I log onto the status checks, they say my transcripts, etc. are missing. Is it because they just started their file on me, and so haven't properly sorted the old documents yet? (They do have my SAT score reports, which I sent in early December, but those were sent electronically by the College Board, not via snail mail by my not-always-reliable guidance department. :P) Or should I resend stuff? (It would be such a waste of paper.)</p>

Probably this, but it wouldn't hurt to call the college and ask... assuming that you're talking about some status page maintained by the college, rather than the one on commonapp.org. The School Forms page on commonapp.org will list your forms forever as "not submitted" if they were sent by mail. But still, it wouldn't hurt to call and ask whether your file is complete or is missing documents.</p>
