Thank you

By the way, the signature is the MD5 hash of the string
".IsCacheDirectory" and it's SPECIFICALLY looked for by tar:

[snip of great info]

As a bonus question; do you know why md5sum is showing a different
value, as in...

echo ".IsCacheDirectory" | md5sum -
6929f806dd11bc634be8205d11af24d6  -

I used "John the Ripper" to prove that 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55
really *is* the hash of .IsCacheDirectory but I am not clear on what
md5sum is giving me.

Has to do with end-of-line stuff. Try:

        [root@prophead tmp]# printf "%s" ".IsCacheDirectory" | md5sum
        8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55  -

(the "-" at the end is md5sum telling me that it was looking at stdin).
