The actual contents of files does not seem to be compared. So for
example, if you avoid it borking out on meta-data by ensuring
mtime/permissions/etc are correct, yet you introduce corruption in
file contents, the verify still succeeds.

The other part of the problem is that the archive cache is not
penetrated, so the verification is run based on information which is
not confirmed to match that which is in the remote backup.
