What is creating a "RStmp" file in the "host/new/<share>" directory?
I see that (largish, growing without end) file there always when I have 
a problem with corrupted files.

It doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem; I think BackupPC 
creates this file when checksums are enabled (and, for example 
$Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb} = '0.01'; - which is default).
