So I'm writing a script to transfer a client from one host to
another, using tarPCCopy, and I'm getting messages like this:

  Can't find 
foo--tm50-e00145--tm50-s00339---shared/47/f%2f/fshared/ffoo/fpurchase_order_assets/fbatch_7813/f7105620_done.txt
 in pool, will copy file

which is fascinating because the first column in ls -l is *3*. -_-

The tarPCCopy tar file therefore ends up becoming really large
(hundreds of gibibytes) with files that already exist in the pool,
presumably.

I've tried running md5sum on that file; can't find that in the pool.
I've tried BackupPC_zcat | md5sum; can't find that in the pool.

BackupPC_fixLinks, from the wiki, doesn't see the problem at all,
which I'd *very* much like to fix.

I don't have the room to copy a duplicate of this pool like this.
It's not happening with every file, but it's happening enough to be
a real problem.

What's going on here?  How can I fix it?
