rsync - Nov 2017 - some files vanished before... but which?

Hi !

I`m getting "rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be
transferred (code 24) at main.c(1518) [generator=3.0.9]" on one of my
systems i`m backing up with rsync , but rsync doesn`t show WHICH files.

Does anybody have a clue under which circumstances rsync doesn`t show these ?

regards
Roland

That is what rsync says at the end of the run in case you missed the
file names fly by in the other output.  The names should be in the rest
of the output from when rsync found the problem.

If you were rsync'ing a live session, that's what I see if I continue
computing while rsync is running in the background. I remember
freaking out badly the first time I ever saw it.

My grasp now is that rsync is informing us that, before it starts
performing our commands, it makes a job list of all the files and
directories it needs to act on per our expressed commands. If we
continue computing while it is running, our activity inevitably
changes (totally messes up) its previously calculated to-do list. :)

good hint - but not exactly. 

i found that for the osx host "gonzo" , the vanished files (not the
warning message itself) appear in stdout - for linux hosts they _both_ appear in
stderr , but nothing in stdout (rsync.err.#num is stderr, rsync.log is stdout)

maybe it`s because backupvm1->spacewalk is 3.0.9->3.0.9 and
backupvm1->gonzo is 3.0.9->3.1.2 (installed from brew repo) ?

[root at backupvm1 backup]# grep -i vanished spacewalk/rsync.*
