I don't think so.  Did you try copying the file from one
machine to the other, and doing a direct diff?  It looks
like the 'tag=.' is being ignored for some reason.

I suspect you have tried that, but it's hard to imagine
why the two machines would be different.  I'd also note
that your grep command shouldn't ignore lines that have
a '#' that is anywhere in the line.  Only ignore lines
where there is nothing interesting before the '#'.  Eg:

    grep -v '^ *#'

I don't know what else to suggest.  From what you describe
in your message, both hosts should be getting the same set
of files.
