Thanks! I did try to debug this last night, and also found that the sha1 checksum was an empty string. I wasn't sure though wether we could treat NULL and the empty string equivalently. I believe I've seen code where NULL indicates properly deletion, but an empty string just sets the property to an empty value. Does this idiom not apply to ra_serf?
