David,how does the code you provided handle the removal of a "source"
node ? as far as i can tell the directory that contains the
concatenated_file_parts doesn't get purged on each puppet
iteration.so even after the "source" node stops exporting its
file_part the Concatenated_file will contain its entry.
Maybe some time-stamp magic is needed here ...
