Sure. It won't index the new one unless there's a link to the new file as
well. Unlike some spiders (notably SWISH), ht://Dig will only follow links
from some source document, the start_url. So if there isn't a link, it
can't find it.

Well if the above explanation sounds reasonable, check to see if there are
links to everything. If there *are* and it's skipping them... that's a
bug.
