More progress.  The time boundaries look ok, but if I compare all file 
sizes of that time period, one is always WAY bigger than the other ones 
and it seems to be randomly picked as to which file, in which $srcid 
directory it will be.

This isn't so much of a problem since my retention on these files is 
relatively small, only a day or two.  They are being processed into 
other things and then removed.
