Ahhh, ok. That makes more sense.  I was confused, thinking that the
report was telling me that the *file* had changed, when in fact, the
*database* had change.  

I guess it would be nice if it was more obvious which is which, but I
don't really think it's necessary to list the changed attributes in this
case.
