First problem was: some uploads had a meta-info textfile but no ZIP file.  If 
you get enough of these in the queue, then the queue-handler (which processes 
the first 24 items) finds the same set of invalid uploads each time

Second problem was: one upload was a 0-byte ZIP file, and the queue handler 
was exiting when it found these, and never deleting them (it was designed for 
interactive mode on one temporary file, so error-handling didn't work so well 
in batched mode)

Related to this: the upload handler should probably do the "0-byte or no 
upload" check, rather than leaving it to the queue handler to discover these 
problems.
