PulledPork 0.7.0 not parsing enablesid, disablesid, modifysid or threshold.conf files when there are no rule updates

["Weir, Jason" <jason.weir () nhrs org>]

I'm testing PP 0.7.0 and seeing what looks like a bug but want to confirm it's not a config issue on my end.

As I tune the sensor I add entries in each of the config files (enablesid,disablesid,modifysid conf files) and then run 
pulledpork and restart snort

/usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl -c /usr/local/etc/snort/pulledpork.conf -vv

If there are no rule updates to download (from either VRT or ET) I get this output

Next if I go into disablesid.conf and add another entry and re-run pp I get the same output as the first run - the new 
entry in disablesid.conf doesn't get parsed or disabled in the snort.rules file.

Any ideas?
