My suggestion to try the "sleep" (which seems to have stopped the checksum failing) was because this LMS is running on a NAS and perhaps the NAS OS/hardware has some oddities. e.g. it might return success on a file write before the write has been committed to disk but then when the file open/read happens a few microseconds later it gets the contents from disk without taking the write cache into account. That would be a pretty big bug (so unlikely) but perhaps it would only be seen by 3rd-party software running directly on the NAS ... which would make it less common in the wild.
