Greetings archivers,

I've been running BackupPC for quite some time and have been very happy.
 Today I ran into an issue.  I added two new hosts, set them up like I
always have (rsync using SSH keys), and was getting failures.

Server is 2.1.1 on Sarge.
Client hosts are a mix of sarge/dapper.
Two new hosts are pre-release etch (March builds).

I could ssh and run rsync just fine: `ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo rsync`

The command BackupPC runs:
/usr/bin/ssh -q -l backuppc amg1 sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys
--exclude=/tmp --ignore-times . /

The error:
2007-04-10 09:59:06 full backup started for directory /
2007-04-10 09:59:08 Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)

The workaround:
After pondering what could be different, the only thing that came to
mind was etch itself.. so possibly a version or bug.  I removed the
version of rsync from etch and installed the sarge package.

etch: rsync  version 2.6.9  protocol version 29
sarge: rsync  version 2.6.4  protocol version 29

Everything is working now that I've downgraded rsync.  Anyone else hit
this issue?  I'll try again when I build a Debian 4.0 box.
