------- Comment #1 from wayned at samba.org  2011-01-01 16:13 CST -------
Rsync 3.0.7 has this fix which is probably the cause of all the "No such
file
or directory" errors:

    - Avoid an error when --dry-run  was trying to stat a prior hard-link file
      that hasn't really been created.

The assertion failure is something I haven't yet managed to reproduce.  I
have
added more descriptive messages into the code for 3.0.8 that may help to narrow
down what is happening.
