rsync - Dec 2003 - Problem on XP with --delete option

Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem on rsync with the --delete option.

Situation:

Server = Mandrake Linux 9.2 running rsync daemon

Client = Windows XP workstation running cygwin + rsync2.5.1 combined with ssh.
  
All this implemented conform the website of Robert Scholten
(http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/)
Every thing seems to work fine exept for the --delete option.

The rsync says: "IO error encountered - skipping file deletion"

The transfer of files works fine, no I/O errors at all. Do you guys have any
suggestion for me ?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Hi,

Run rsync from a batch file where you set env.variable CYGWIN=notnsec.
Further instructions and an example can be found at http://itefix.no/cwrsync

Check who owns your files. You have to make sure that the account that
starts rsync also owns directories you want to sync.
