rsync - Apr 2007 - Is --link-dest supported on remote ssh side?

I'm trying to make backups with rsync with the --list-dest option.

My first backup is made like this:

rsync -azR --delete -e ssh --exclude-from=./exclude.lst /tmp/test
login@server:/tmp/backup/backup-nelly-2007-04-17-12-34-26/

Without touching any of the files which were backed up, I launch a new
backup with this command:
rsync -azR --delete -e ssh --exclude-from=./exclude.lst
--link-dest=/tmp/backup/nelly-2007-04-17-12-34-26 /tmp/test
login@server:/tmp/backup/backup-nelly-2007-04-17-12-34-33/

I had expected all files in the second backup to be hard links to the
first backup files, but this does not seem to be the case:

ls -1 -i backup-nelly*/tmp/test/testfile
10286511 backup-nelly-2007-04-17-12-34-26/tmp/test/testfile
10286738 backup-nelly-2007-04-17-12-34-33/tmp/test/testfile

Both client and server side are using rsync 2.6.9 protocol version 29.

What am I doing wrong, or is this simply not supported?

OK, obvious typo in the above command :-)

It works correct actually!

Hi all,
I am running the following command from winXP:
rsync -av -e "bin\ssh -i trans_key\access.key -l julian -p 2227" 
192.168.200.254::julian .\julian\

and getting the following output:

rsync: Failed to dup/close: Socket operation on non-socket (108)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(71) [receiver=2.6.8cvs]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(475) 
[receiver=2.6.8cvs]

Everything had been working for months, but suddenly I am getting this.
Removing the -e ssh etc.. part seems to make the problem go away, but I 
can only connect to this server through ssh, and it is on a vpn.

Anyone got a clue!!?? I am really stuck on this one!!

Thanks
Julian
