Yikes, this is a tricky one.  The problem is that the global cache 
doesn't contain all of the directory names, so that fc-list misses 
locally cached subdirectories of globally cached directories.  I don't 
have a fix yet, but I'm working on one.

Hmm.  That shouldn't happen either, almost like you have binaries that 
are out of synch.

Where are they?
