rsync - Aug 2008 - Rsync Error Code 23?

Regarding "rsync error code 23" could the below "delete_file:
...file
exist" failures cause the error code 23? Or, how can I resolve this as 
these are the only errors I see in the log files.
Thank you!

In this case I think it's actually the "symlink" failure causing
the
code 23.  "delete_file" failures currently don't cause code 23,
but they
probably should because they result in an incorrect transfer.

Rsync appears to be trying to delete what it believes is a directory
from the destination and make a symlink there instead.  However, its
rmdir call fails with EEXIST (File exists), which isn't even listed as a
possible error in my rmdir(2) man page.  What is at the
path /drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software ?  Is it a
directory, as rsync believes?  Can you remove the directory manually
with rmdir(1)?  If you can't, you have a non-rsync-specific filesystem
problem, while if you can, we'll have to investigate further why rsync
is failing.
