We then place our CRLs in the directory and create the hashes for them using an app or script that we wrote.  I think that this essentially does something like:

A couple of possibilities. One is that the time isn't properly set on the

with the same hash: have you checked for that? If there are you need to use
the form .r1, .r2 etc.
