I'm "pulling" files from a remote server, and the line delimiters in per-dir filter files on the remote machine appear to be ignored. If I set a single line rule, it works fine. If I add additional rules, comments (prefaced with #), or blank lines, the filter file breaks - often with rsync complaining that it it could not parse the file. I have gone over and over the man page, the net, and my syntax, and I can't find anything. From my perspective, per-dir filters on the remote side of an OS X rsync transfer are broken. Local side: OS X 10.5.8, rsync 2.6.9 Remote side: OS X 10.6.7, rsync 2.6.9 Any thoughts? wbr
