Jon,
I have run across this problem and it was caused by the different line
endings in Linux/Windows files. Windows files end their lines with a CRLF
sequence ("\r\n"), while Linux only uses LF ("\n"). So, when the md5sum
is reading the md5 file with the checksums in it, the extra "\r" makes it
think there is another non-existance file listed.
As a test, you can rewrite one of the md5 files on your linux box so it
only has "\n" line endings. Then run md5sum again and see if the errors
go away.
HTH,
julian
