We're having a problem trying to set up rsync to sync between a couple
of sites. This is NetBSD 1.5.1_ALPHA on the remote end (eftp) and
1.4.1 on the local end. The rsync versions appear to be identical, as
shown in the output.
Here is the full command being used:
rsync -r -C --exclude .snapshot -e /usr/pkg/bin/ssh -vvv --delete \
eftp.redback.com:/home/ftp/customers /service/eftp/
And here is the output (I have pared it down a bit, the full output is
available if someone is masochistic enough to look at it):
local_version=24 remote_version=24
local_version=24 remote_version=24
receiving file list ... add_exclude(.snapshot)
[This all goes fine . . . ]

[Lots of excludes get added]

Now, bizarrely, the files transfer anyway. The user rsync is running
as has some peculiarities: on the side that rsync is executing from,
the user has one name, and on the remote, there are two names for the
same uid. (This is to handle some ftp access restrictions.) Manual
copying, moving, touching, and so forth by this user does work fine.
Obviously the error is essentially cosmetic, since the files do
transfer. However, I want to wrap these commands in a program, and
send error reports if anything shows up in stderr, so this is a
problem.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Is this something
glaringly obvious? I'm stumped, and so are my co-sysadmins. Any
clues much appreciated.
