Here's a trick that may help... Don't modify whitelist in place. That is dangerous since it may be used during the modification process. Instead, copy the file to a temporary location, modify the file, and then copy it back (with force). Better yet, read the file in place, write the new file to a temporary location, set permissions/owner/group, and then copy the temporary file back over the original (with force). This process is fairly safe since the copy function is (I'm pretty sure) atomic. You do risk "clobbering" any additions made by another source, so it's best not to do this with your confirmed list. Of course, if you did clobber someone on your confirmed list, I guess they'd just have to confirm again, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.
