Comment (by hinder):
There is a tool called "h5check" (http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/hdf5_tools/h5check.html) which checks hdf5 files for consistency. It is probably too slow to run this on every transfer, but this would be the most robust solution. I have just encountered an HDF5 file which gives no errors with h5ls but fails an h5check. This file was being written when I ran out of quota. h5dump also fails, on all the datasets I have tried in the file, so I expect the file is not usable due to the header being corrupted.
