ok, _bump_mtime should check IMO that a path exists before it tries to touch it.

Does this patch fix it for you too?

Sidenote for zmedico:
I might have killed the optimisation in that patch.  (Comment didn't say so.)  If that was the reason for not using os.path.join, then the _os.sep should not be put between root and VDB_PATH, as that causes double slashes.
