Making it to a new folder, or deleting the .update-timestamp, fixes the problem.  I just didn't know that file existed until I started looking a lot closer.

It's a UNIX thing.  I don't have a love for them either.  You should
take a look at the $HOME directory on LINUX.  All sorts of . directories

from Free/OpenBSD.
