You're welcome :-)

It looks as though some of these files may be corrupted on the store. I've 
made a lot of improvements to the error handling and recovery in my 
chris/merge tree, and if you could try it I'd appreciate it. I expect 
that it will be able to restore the file, but not the attributes, and not 
crash. I have no idea if the file will be corrupted, but I expect so.
