The file should be 64k in size - not empty.

I notice you have the URL wrong - it's "directory/Directory.gz" with a

If that was just a typo then I don't know what else could be wrong - but an
empty directory.gz will stop mixminion.

Hmm... Nick probably ought to look at that - it shouldn't kill the program,
something should catch that and output a sensible error message.
