Could you download to a disk attached directly to the RPi and then move
complete downloaded/converted files to the NAS afterwards?

One way around that is to use a script to issue the G_ip command and in the
script build the target filename for the download using something that
changes, eg the date/time of the download attempt (I put a unique sequence
number into every fetch; apart from anything else that makes it dead easy to
find fetch-attempt-specific info in logs etc afterwards).   Of course that
does mean that in other situations an incautious script could generate many
files rather than just one.

With --verbose in the command, can you find out why it still skips?>
