rsync - Sep 2002 - Rsync error 23 /Partial transfer / workaround needed (fwd)

Hi, I posted a list of problems I was having with rsync 2.5.5 (on
Digital Unix 4.0f) which I've now been able to address thanks to some
kernel tuning but I still have one outstanding problem - I still have
situation where files which are added to the filelist for updating on
the remote end  are deleted by the client systems' web software
before they are sent - at least I believe this is what is stopping some of
them completing  - see below

send_files failed to open /some/path/to/file
11455: No such file or directory
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578)



Can someone confirm what happens in this circumstance? Does that
particular rysnc abort or does it carry on having generated the error.

It continues.  It will, however, refuse to do any deletes it otherwise 
would have, thus the --ignore-errors option was added.
