rsync - Jun 2006 - Rsync fails to rename on Windoze2003

Hi All,

I've seen several variations on this topic, but nothing exactly the same:

I have two Windows 2003 servers that I want to use rsync (2.6.8) to mirror. 
These machines are separated by a WAN.

Initial attempts to get rsync working between them have not been successful. 
The first rsync went fine, which seeded the files, but the second sync always
fails (at a ramdom time) with a

rsync: rename "AP16A7~1.cab.V55PQE" (in MEDIA_2006) ->
"AP16A7~1.cab": Permission denied (13)

On the server, the rsyncd (from cwRsyncd), I initially ran the service as user
SvcwRsync (from the installer), then added the user to the Administrators group,
then changed the server to run as Administrator, all to no avail.

If it was a perms problem, I wouldn't get _any_ files updated, but this
fails on the rename at a random time.

So I changed the rsync client to --inplace and I see (again random):

unexpected tag 3 [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(828)
[sender=2.6.8]

I really would prefer to not have to use --inplace to optimize the bandwidth
taken up.

Any thoughts on why the rename fails?  I would have thought the owner of the
service as local Administrator would be fine!

Thanks in Advance!
Corey.

Some further information:

I went back to 2.6.6 of rsync on the client and server and at least the entire
sync completes.  I still get the 'Permission Denied' problem on the
rename though.   I had a look at the logs and it appears the rename error is
_always_ on a file name with a '.' as the starting character.  e.g.

...
rsync: rename "MEDIA_2006_LATEST/cdrom/riched32/.RICHED~1.cab.lEKJmo"
(in MEDIA_2006) -> "cdrom/riched32/RICHED~1.cab": Permission denied
(13)
...
total: matches=278531  tag_hits=1689129  false_alarms=123 data=79645872

sent 80988322 bytes  received 2116535 bytes  72233.69 bytes/sec
total size is 1470681718  speedup is 17.70
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/main.c(791)

My source tree has no files with a '.' at the beginning.  There was a
file 'RICHED~1.cab' in the source - don't know why rsync thinks
there should be a '.' in front of it on the destination.

So it appears that file permissions to not have a bearing on the problem, but
something in rsync is looking for files with a '.' at the beginning. 
But why does this only occur at random, not for every file?  Note the 'false
alarms' above - does that mean anything?

Does anyone have any further notion why I get these rename errors?

Thanks in Advance!
Corey.

Have you checked the permissions for the user, with which rsync is
running on the target directory. This could be one of the reasons.

--BSR

Yes, I even made the rsync server user a local administrator for a test, as well
as created a share for the directory and gave the user permission for it, as
well as file permissions on the directory...
