When I edit a file with emacs, make changes, and then abandon the
file without saving it, emacs leaves a file with a name surrounded
with #'s (like yours) that has the changes I didn't save. Then, the
next time I edit the file, I'm warned that there's a newer version
that wasn't saved, and told how to recover the file. Did you edit
your list file with emacs, and then not save the file?
Hope this helps,
Kendall
