   I'm not sure about that because I've never used the daily nodelist but why     
   would anyone want to use diffs on a daily nodelist?

   If the nodelist you're trying to update is the z1 version, z1 version     
   diffs must be used. If the nodelist you're trying to update is the z2     
   version, z2 version diffs must be used. From what you've said, the diffs     
   you receive from Tommi are z2 version diffs which cannot be used to update     
   a z1 version nodelist.
