mkstemp error (only a problem with newer rsync versions)
The setup...
Transport is via SSH.
BoxA : Ubuntu 8.10
BoxB : Mac OS X 10.4.11
If I use rsync v2 to transfer data from BoxA to BoxB everything works fine.
However, if I use rsync v3 to transfer the data, the following error is reported
:
rsync: mkstemp "/path/to/somefile/file.pm.JKQczN" failed: No such file
or directory (2)
If at all possible, I would like to use rsync v3 and make use of various
additional features. As I switch between versions I am specifying the
--rsync-path option to change the remote side of rsync.
This problem only occurs for files within a specific directory :
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0
Any suggestions, pointers, ideas would be very welcome.

Please give steps to reproduce the problem so that I can investigate. -- Matt
