[seqfan] number theory question about A000593

I was tinkering with A000593 "sum of odd divisors of N" and noticed  
that empirically

A(n)  =  n+1    IFF    isprime(n)                      <---  
conjecture ???


(a bit of finagling results in only needing to check for odd squares,  
so a simple C program
verifies this out to 10^12 pretty fast)


So I am wondering if this is actually true, and if so is there is any  
N.T. proof.



apologies in advance if this is too off-topic for this list,
thanks,
Peter Lawrence.
