On my cpu server, replica seems to be confused over its current
point in time.

When I first ran it today, I got a bunch of (correct) local
conflicts, and several files were updated. I resolved a few of
the local conflicts and re-ran, and while several things worked
fine, some odd behavior started showing.

Replica always tries to update three files, but never actually
does so. There were existing versions of the files; I've tried
removing them and recreating them. Replica notices the changes,
but still won't update them.

(pardon the bunch of -c's below. pull is a function calling
glenda's pull. this is as hostowner.)

cpu% pull -c acme/bin/386 -c 386/9pc -c 386/9load -c 386/bin -c 386/9loaddebug -c 386/9loadlite -c 386/9loadlitedebug -c 386/9pxeload -c 386/9pxeloaddebug -c rc/bin/9fs -c rc/bin/termrc -c rc/bin/cpurc -c rc/bin/cpurc.local -c lib/ndb/auth -c 386/9pc -c 386/9pc.gz -c 386/9pccpu -c 386/9pccpu.gz -c 386/9pcdisk -c 386/9pcdisk.gz -c 386/9pcf -c 386/9pcf.gz -c acme/mail/src
a sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/httppasswords 660 sys sys 1016833584
! sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/keys: locally created; will not overwrite
! sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/netkeys: locally created; will not overwrite

If I leave out the various -c arguments, replica has no idea
I've blessed those files. It's correct that httppasswords
doesn't exist while the other two do. If I give it a -s, It'll
make all three "a" lines; in any case, nothing in that
directory changes.

It is noticing other changes; for example, these two just
showed up in a successive run:

cpu% pull -c acme/bin/386 -c 386/9pc -c 386/9load -c 386/bin -c 386/9loaddebug -c 386/9loadlite -c 386/9loadlitedebug -c 386/9pxeload -c 386/9pxeloaddebug -c rc/bin/9fs -c rc/bin/termrc -c rc/bin/cpurc -c rc/bin/cpurc.local -c lib/ndb/auth -c 386/9pc -c 386/9pc.gz -c 386/9pccpu -c 386/9pccpu.gz -c 386/9pcdisk -c 386/9pcdisk.gz -c 386/9pcf -c 386/9pcf.gz -c acme/mail/src
a sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/httppasswords 660 sys sys 1016833584
! sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/keys: locally created; will not overwrite
! sys/lib/sysconfig/auth/boundary/netkeys: locally created; will not overwrite
c sys/man/2/atof
c sys/src/cmd/fossil/cache.c

Those files are indeed updated on my disk, and don't show up
in further replica runs. There are corresponding entries in
/dist/replica/client/plan9.(log db).

I can't find a definition of /dist/replica/client/plan9.time.
I noticed the permissions were weird for that directory (not
writable by hostowner), and the contents seems odd:
 1252443603        7182
The first number is in September of last year. I take the
next to be the "gen", although I'm not really clear how to
interpret that. Fixing permissions made no difference.

I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
