Erm, so now I see my new table in checkpoint's activities:

openat(AT_FDCWD,"base/5/16399",O_RDWR,00)     = 20 (0x14)
fsync(20)                     = 0 (0x0)

... but we still never synchronize "base/5".  According to our
project's reading of the POSIX tea leaves we should be doing that to
nail down the directory entry.
