Actually, -A none is supposed to disable all alerting output plugins,  
logging plugins should still run.

Looking at the code, it appears that spo_database is setting itself  
properly in terms of notifying the system that an alerting plugin is  
running.  I'll take a look and see if I can figure out why we're  
still getting an alert file.  IIRC I've heard about this one from  
time to time, maybe its an old bug that never got properly squashed.
