Ivan / Jared,

I fetched the dataset and isolated the following file
and it did not have RPCs internally:

05JUL04180116-P2AS-005554608080_01_P001.TIF

I see there is a parallel .RPB and .IMD file which GDAL
reads for metadata but this is *not* an example of the
RPC coefficients within the TIFF file if that is what you
were looking for.

I'm referring to:

  http://geotiff.maptools.org/rpc_prop.html

If that is what you need, let me know and I'll
try to prepare an example if there isn't one
already somewhere.  Note that to GDAL apps
this should look the same as working with the
quickbird image.

Best regards,
--
