I would use cloop-utils as default, although I am note sure this was
the problem.

Does this look for a file size of less the 50 bytes rather than less
than 50k bytes, try:-
SIZE=3D`du -s -k $DIR | awk '{ print  $1}'`

Also I would add bs=3D1k :-
dd if=3D/dev/urandom of=3D$DIR/morphix/files/padding.junk bs=3D1k count=3D$=
SIZE

Personally I ammended mimimod-gen to always produce a junk file of 20K
as it takes up so little space on the compressed minimodule it IMHO
not worth deleting.

Hope this helps,
Brendan
