Never mind, SWF verification is fine. The AMF3 stuff was a red herring.

The only outstanding annoyance with this is that it only transfers at the 
speed of the real Flash client. When the server dumps out what it thinks is an 
appropriate bufferful, it will stop sending data until it thinks the client 
has caught up. I.e., you can't download faster than realtime...

I guess we could try intercepting SetBuffer commands from the client and then 
choosing a larger buffersize, like rtmpdump does. If that works then we'd have 
to go back to queueing packets in the server->client direction, because we'll 
be reading packets at full speed from the server to write to the local file, 
and trickling them out to the client at whatever speed it reads at...
