[Dxspider-support] Is the usdbraw.gz being maintained?

Checked permissions on data/usdb.v1? Seems read permission is not enough. Needs 
to be owned by spider or writable to all?

You could also check last update time on that file (correct?), and search inside 
it for "AH0KT", it should be found even if the file has a binary format.
