rsync - Mar 2003 - Rsync problem

Hey All,

I am running rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26 on my remote 
machine (Redhat 8 def. install) and rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol 
version 26 on my local machine (Redhat 7.2,  2.4.17 kernel instead of 
Redhat one with acl patches). I can copy files between these two 
machines (using ssh/scp) fine.

When i run the command:
 
rsync  -rptz --delete --stats --include="*.ini"
--include="*.csv"
--include "*/" --exclude "*" --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
/directory/data
remotehost:~datawh/datawarehouse

I get this output:

rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 9779 bytes: phase "unknown":
Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515)

Rsync exits with an error code of 12.

The data in the /directory/data/ folder is all able to be accessed by 
the user I run as, as is the remote dir. It is not a persmissions thing 
as some data does go across before the problem (and i can just copy the 
data if I want to with scp).

The file in the /directory/data folder are all plain ASCII files (.csv 
and .ini files obviously). Unfortunatley I don't think I can post any 
peices of the files due to commercially sensitive content.

I have another directory called /directory/data2 which has the same 
files, with information for a different organisation in it. This 
directory works fine.

Any hints.. .. .. anything?

Thanks,
James

Hmmmm.

I just fixed this problem by adding -T /tmp.

I find this odd, as the files I am moving have a combined size of 
115852000 bytes, the file system they reside on (I was also running the 
command from this filesystem) has 68077044000 bytes free - so it is not 
a free space issue. I can copy one file out of the directory by itself 
with rsync so it is not a perms issue either.

I am stumped as to whats up, but at least I am fixed now!

James
