Hi Chris,

First and second run are completed without warnings in the eventlog. So 
I believe the problem is solved. At a later moment I will run a compare 
to check the store.

Is there already a solution to 'touch' files for re-upload? There are 
utilities for windows to do that, but maybe it would be handy to add a 
switch to the compare command, to upload those automatically?

Thanks for the bugfix! I will monitor the eventlog for any abnormalities.

Cheers,

Roy
