You could have totally called me an moron for that, thanks for going  
easy on me :) Duh, gah.  Ok, I should be able to work around this with  
checking for the file earlier, and setting a does_exist flag or  
something, unless you have an alternate suggestion that is more  
appropriate?

Thanks Daniel, good catch.
