My fault, I read it in some other posts in the mailing list but now that I read it carefully it meant savepoints not checkpoints. > Now for this case, I would consider it extremely unlikely that a > checkpoint 1620 would still reference a checkpoint 1, > in particular if the files for that checkpoint are already deleted, which > should only happen if it is no longer > referenced.

There are usually a few checkpoints around at the same time, for example right now: chk-1 chk-26 chk-27 chk-28 chk-29 chk-30 chk-31 I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem but I'll monitor the folder to see when chk-1 gets deleted and try to make the task fail when that happens.
