Yes, the format of the file was changed at some point.

It's those I still wonder about. Here's my suggestion. Close SM. Move all the sessionstore files to a temp directory somewhere out of the way. Start SM. Confirm everything is working as usual. You can keep the backups around for a few days, then you can delete them.
