ugh i found it... it's restore.py, there are two tempfile.TemporaryFile() 
invocations... and i'm having a hell of a time trying to get a useful 
dir='/foobar/' into there to retarget the temp file, i'm lost in python OO 
hell :)  every path i've tried so far ends up creating a tmp file in the 
mirror rather than in the target... obviously i'm doing something wrong.
