Ziv,

-metadata is required to run the script, but none of that content ends up be 
written in the output file...unless it needs to generate the header. The amazon 
system is running with -g as well, so this shouldn't be a source of problem.

The only cause I can think of is that your feed is dropping some data chunks 
somewhere along the way (or technically the amazon feed could drop some that 
you guys aren't). Are your files consistently different, or just sometimes?

Can you send me one of the files that doesn't match?
