This is what I have in my /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties
directory:

c_28au03.dbf c_28au03.shp c_28au03.shx
fz04my04.dbf fz04my04.shp fz04my04.shx
hz02oc01.dbf hz02oc01.shp hz02oc01.shx
mz15jl04.dbf mz15jl04.shp mz15jl04.shx
oz24mr04.dbf oz24mr04.shp oz24mr04.shx
placeholder
w_28au03.dbf w_28au03.shp w_28au03.shx
z_15jl04.dbf z_15jl04.shp z_15jl04.shx

Look similar, but perhaps with newer files?
