Your explanation of WHY you need to extract a particular file (or files) a second time fails the "plausibility test" with me... and your simplified example below casts no light on the problem (largely because I can see no rational justification for dividing what sounds like a merely occasional and low-overhead procedure among multiple servers (unless, perhaps, one is a db server?).

Worse, your simplified code gives no hint of HOW you attempt to unzip a member a second time, nor of HOW you're directing the second attempt to a different directory (to avoid overwriting the first) and nowhere do you cite error messages supporting your description of what's happening. Please clarify.

See I know what I mean. Why don't you?. The OP, in fact, sounds like you believe there's some sort of quantum entanglement between the files... or "spooky action at a distance."

If not, why can't you...

or, better, provide a clearer explanation -- with code -- of what you're trying to do.

If you believe the issue is in your module, the first alternative above would offer you -- at a minimum -- the opportunity to start testing your belief)

OT: Your " <<quote>" pseudo-tags are not particularly prominent. You may want to see Markup in the Monastery, Writeup Formatting Tips and Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. And, as my usage in this para suggests, one common (local) way of making quotes obvious here is to use italics... or, in the case of a long-ish quote, to use italics inside a <blockquote>...</blockquote> pair.
