And the *very* next e-mail says that this is fixed in 3.0beta3.  That's 
what I'm running...

For compleness, I have installed the following RPM instead:

rsync-2.6.3-1.i386.rpm

I've started a full backup.  We'll see if it makes a difference. 
However, I believe that was the previous version that had problems 
*before* I upgraded...

I've checked:  here is my config.pl:

$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
             #
             # Do not edit these!
             #
             '--numeric-ids',
             '--perms',
             '--owner',
             '--group',
             '-D',
             '--links',
             '--hard-links',
             '--times',
             '--block-size=2048',
             '--recursive',

So this should not be an issue.  Am I missing something?
