On a fairly standard installed wheezy machine, the os.rename in 
swift-recon-cron will spit out this exeption to syslog:

Exception dumping recon cache: #012Traceback (most recent call 
last):#012  File

[Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

Creating the temp file in the same directory as the cache_file makes 
os.rename work as expected:
