It is always read when connecting to an archive.  It is verified when 
mirroring.  When it doesn't match, the error is the one Kevin Geiss got.

See archive.c:
   if (want_mirror_of && str_cmp (want_mirror_of, answer->mirror_of))
     {
       safe_printfmt (2, "arch_archive_connect: attempt to connect to 
wrong mirror\n  archive: %s\n  wanted mirror of: %s\n  got mirror of: %s\n",
                      (name ? name : location), want_mirror_of, 
(answer->mirror_of ? answer->mirror_of : (t_uchar *)"(not a mirror)"));
       exit (2);
     }

   return answer;

That is not the only important thing.  The =meta-info/mirror contents is 
also important.
