#2934: CarpetX's norms output ignores `IO::truncate_files`

 Reporter: Roland Haas
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: 
     Type: bug
 Priority: major
Component: CarpetX

running the same parameter file that has:

```
IO::out_dir = $parfile                                                                                  IO::out_every = 1                                                                                       IO::truncate_files = yes
                                                                                                        CarpetX::out_metadata = no                                                                              CarpetX::out_norm_vars = "CenterOfMass::rho CenterOfMass::x_rho"
```

twice results in results in output being appended to the output file:
