Were they trying to file and pick up clearances directly with ATC, or were

The latter.

If they were attempting the latter, the controller's actions make absolutely
no sense. It's easier for him to issue the clearance directly than it is to
do it through FSS.

That's what my relatively IFR-inexperienced mind was thinking at the time.
