It sounds like at some point the freshclam process being used to populate the 
private mirror failed to delete the CVD file after applying a CDIFF and 
generating the CLD.

The client in private mirror mode will look for both a CVD and a CLD and 
download the file with the correct version number after doing a HEAD for the 
metadata of the file.

I'd start by deleting all the data from the mirror and re-initializing it with 
freshclam.  After 4 hours or so run freshclam again on the master to make sure 
it downloads and apples the CDIFF correctly and generates the CLD and removes 
the CLD.

It's possible there is/was a permissions issue not allowing freshclam to delete 
the original CVD.
