Good to hear it wasn't my code. :-)

I'm suspecting your unionfs partition may be a little funky.

If you want to use the 0.5 branch, today as-is, I would suggest you  
make a separate partition for the keydisk.

1) start with Darrick's runnix.imb.gz and create a fresh flash card.

2) boot, and with fdisk add partitions 2 (+128M) and 3 (rest of disk)

3) reboot, and do a genunion on the partition 2 and genkd on partition  
3.  (If the 0.5 genunion asks to generate the keydisk, say no)

4) edit your ...run.conf KCMD line in the FAT16 partition 1 defining  
asturw= and kd=

Now, put altweb in the /mnt/kd/altweb/ directory (HTTPS pointing there).

I feel this is the most robust configuration for the current 0.5 branch.

They are identical, except altweb-update.tar expands in-place (./)  
while altweb.tar expands in the altweb/ directory.

With altweb-update you can do:
tar xzvf altweb-update.tar.gz -C /any/arbitrary/directory/
will place the contents in /any/arbitrary/directory/

while:
tar xzvf altweb.tar.gz -C /any/arbitrary/directory/
will place the contents in /any/arbitrary/directory/altweb/

Thanks, it's my pleasure.
