Amazon makes no guarantees about how long it might take for the change to 
propagate, so this would probably just be guesswork. The Jungle Disk 
author in his reply to you seemed to say that the file would never appear 
if reopened before being closed the first time.

One thing we could do is to host this difftemp file on a completely 
different filesystem, as it is after all just a temporary file.

Why does it need to be cleared out?

Cheers, Chris.
