it probably is, I've seen this with other hdf-5 code.

h5diff compares datasets. If it says there are no differences, then there
are no differences to worry about. You may be able to see something in
hdfview. I'm not sure how PyTables handles object ID's. They might differ
if you run the code in the way you did. What happens if you run the same
code twice, both in a fresh python session?
