We download to a sub-directory so the standard SR scan does not identify an incomplete VHD. Once the download is finished, we rename them (to avoid any conflicts), re-write the parentage information and finally move the VHD files to the base of the SR and perform an sr-scan so it finds the VHDs and creates appropriate VDIs.
