           Summary: --link-dest seen as unknown option
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P3

I have been trying to develop some backups using the link-dest option, and I
keep getting a response the option is unknown. I'm running fedora 12 and
have
the latest rsync.

For example, a simple test fails with:

# rsync -az --list-dest=../dir1 dir_s/ dir_d
rsync: --list-dest=../dir1: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1425) [client=3.0.7]


About the host system...

You misspelled --link-dest.
