This is one approach to fixing your problem, but it probably would be 
better to just modify your orcallator.cfg file, at the find_files entry 
for the group in question.  It's possible when you upgraded to r525 that 
your orcallator.cfg file changed (or didn't change, but needed to?).  
Here's what my find_files looks like:

find_files              
/npd/dmichael/orca-522/var/orca/orcallator/(.*)/(?:(?:orcallator)|(?:percol))-\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}(
?:-\d{3,})(?:[^\.]*)?(?:\.(?:Z|gz|bz2))?

The 4th \d part of that regex is where the additional and optional -000 
would be caught, so your files would continue to be processed as 
normal.  By modifying your find_files regex instead of the procollator 
source, you won't have to re-modify the procollator source every time a 
new version comes out.

Cheers,
