HP - I agree with Accuray that your response was spot-on.

Since you told him he could go file if he wants to, are you comfortable pushing back your own internal deadline? On one hand, when you are done with this situation is your decision. On the other hand, he was basically baiting you into filing, and you said that he should handle it - do you see a problem then if you ultimately file before he does? No right answers here, just some questions.
