           Version: 2.6.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP

Currently we are using rsync to backup our critical information to a hard drive
connected to a remote computer. There are two main folders, one of them works
and the other does not. When I try to rsync the second one I get the following
errors.

rsync: recv generator: mkdir
"/mnt/usb_hd/bigmama_bak/ccdevel/attachments/tickets/112" failed: No
such file
or directory (2)

rsync: stat "/mnt/usb_hd/bigmama_bak/ccdevel/attachments/tickets/112"
failed:
No such file or directory (2)

Rsync won't create ancestors of the destination directory; this may be what
you're seeing.  Please post your rsync command.

------- Comment #3 from matt@mattmccutchen.net  2009-01-15 17:55 CST -------
The problematic directory is inside the destination, so rsync should have been
able to create it.

- Do you get any other error messages?

- What is the nearest ancestor of
/mnt/usb_hd/bigmama_bak/ccdevel/attachments/tickets/112 that exists on the
destination?

- Please strace the receiving end using the rsync-debug script from
http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html and attach the output to this bug, or email
it to Wayne or me if it is big or private.
