issues syncing between one host and another

I have the following script that I am working on

#!/bin/bash

date=$(date +%F--%T)

#ssh parameters
user=aquj001
remotehost=qa4app

localdir=/home/aquj001/INFENG/scripts
remotedir=/home/aquj001/recievingDir.$date

linkdest=$(ssh $user@$remotehost /usr/linux/bin/readlink/
/home/aquj001/recievingDir.current)

rsync -a --compress  --link-dest=$linkdest --out-format='%i %n%L %l %M'
--omit-dir-times  "$localdir" "$user@$remotehost:$remotedir"
ssh $user@$remotehost /bin/rm -f /home/aquj001/recievingDir.current
ssh $user@$remotehost ln -sf $remotedir $linkdest

now the issue becomes when i run it, I get the following errors.

rsync: change_dir#4 "/home/aquj001/recievingDir.2013-09-04--15:53:16"
failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at
main.c(877) [receiver=3.0.6]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600)
[sender=3.0.6]

It still creates the directory on the remote machine but its empty and
nothing but sym links. Any ideas as to what th eissue is would be greatly
appreciated.

This is on an AIX 6.1 system installed from the aix toolbox package.

There probably shouldn't be a trailing / on the readlink command.

If that doesn't settle it is the path in the error message the target
or the link-dest?

If it is the target try sending a mkdir first.

First you rm the existing current link then you create a new one
pointing at the backup you just made.

It really is just a reference to use in the script to determine what
the most recent backup is.  The alternative would be to parse a
directory listing to determine what the --link-dest parameter should be.
