Ah, both of these are listed in /vice/db/files, which triggers the
updateclnt to get them. The dumplist only gets created when you select a
volume to be backed up. It can be just 'touch'-ed, then the empty file
will be pulled in by all clients. I don't know why it tries to fetch the
auth2.tk.BAK file, it should get created whenever the updatesrv detects
that the auth2.tk file is updated.

    # /etc/init.d/update.init stop
    # >/vice/misc/UpdateClntLog 	 (or rm /vice/misc/UpdateClntLog)
    # /etc/init.d/update.init start
