It did!  The cause was the activation snippet of nginx, which runs the
nginx check command, which creates every file involved to check if it
has sufficient permissions.

The files would then exist before anonip had a chance to create them.

The fix has already been merged, so a reboot following a recent
reconfigure on berlin should show all our services up and running.

I'll run the system tests again and push it this doesn't break any.
