New attribute files shouldn't be used with previous versions

Since we use nanosecond now if a previous version of this script is used to restore attributes the updated timestamps will be incorrect, old attribute files can be used without problems with the current version of the script but you shouldn't use attribute files output by this or future releases with old versions of the script.
