[PATCH] remove dead code from the csum-file interface

The provided name argument is always constant and valid in every caller's context, so no need to have an array of PATH_MAX chars to copy it into when a simple pointer will do. Unfortunately that means getting rid of wascally wabbits too.

The 'error' field is also unused.
