I must've misunderstood how 'creates=' is implemented, sorry.

it makes no sense to me that the type of archive would make any difference;
surely if a 'guard' is there (that's just checking if a file path
exists) that should
prevent the task from running regardless of what the task is?

Can anyone with a better understanding explain this?
