sab handles identical filenames incorrectly

Occasionally, you'll come across some doofus who generates a movie sample with the same filename as the movie itself. I'm not sure if this is truly the case, but it appears that during the post-processing stage, sab will refuse to overwrite the identical filename in the same directory and instead simply do nothing, delete the entire archive set, and call it complete! PAR2 checks out fine, so it's not a corruption issue and I've even successfully extracted the archive manually after disabling automatic RAR handling. Oops

unrar is set to not overwrite files when extracting which I disagree with too. I'll look into having it changed.

If there is any sort of error in extraction though, shouldn't the rars and pars be preserved?

unrar does not report an error in this situation.
