The except: is not great practice, since it'll silence any more
serious error. Rather check which exception gets thrown when the file
isn't present and only catch that.

I haven't dug into the code at all, but it also scares me that the
manifest file can end up with the same volume number listed twice.
Presumably the manifest code is all backend-neutral, which makes me
wonder if there is a separate issue causing that to happen?

I've had a quick look at the code and I think the _query method should be modified to search for the filename.  It currently retrieves all files from drive then iterates the list looking for the matching filename.  I suspect that it is running in to a maximum list length returned from drive (even though the pydrive docs say all files are returned).
