running: 'rsync -av 2010-old /Volumes/coltrane/test-transfer/' from my 'Photos 
directory, about 980 files moved and then I got this:

Running, 'ls -la |grep aws-20101016x2115' in the local source directory, I get:

-rw-rw-rw-@   1 alans  staff   7469886 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21152402-01.cr2
-rw-rw-rw-@   1 alans  staff  11520662 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21155143-01.cr2
-rw-rw-rw-@   1 alans  staff  11721658 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21155870-01.cr2

And on the EON volume, I get:

-rwx------  1 alans  staff   2342912 Apr 17 19:28 
.aws-20101016x21155143-01.cr2.rhlJTG

Once again, if I just reissue the rsync command, it picks up from where it left 
off and moves the problem file over just fine. Running ls -la on the eon 
directory I now get:

-rwx------  1 alans  staff   2342912 Apr 17 19:28 
.aws-20101016x21155143-01.cr2.rhlJTG
-rwx------  1 alans  staff   7469886 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21152402-01.cr2
-rwx------  1 alans  staff  11520662 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21155143-01.cr2
-rwx------  1 alans  staff  11721658 Oct 17  2010 aws-20101016x21155870-01.cr2

So, the dead file is still there, but the fresh working copy is all set.

Now here's the weird thing.... This all happened while going over a 1GB 
ethernet connection. However, when I disconnect the cable on the Mac and run 
the rsync over wireless, it doesn't appear to have an issue. I let it run for 
several hours and it never choked. I'm not going to do a lot of testing on that 
at this point, but I would have expected it to fail rather quickly as well. I'm 
sure that the total number of files sent over the slower wireless was well 
beyond where the wired connection usually fails. The wireless was plugging 
along nicely until I killed it so I could do a little more testing. 

Other things that I've done:

* Mac to firewire dirve rsync - No issues. 

* Mac to a windows network share drive - No issues. 

So, at this point, it looks like the issue is only occurring when I'm writing 
to the eon server over the 1GB ethernet. Next up, I'm going to try the updated 
rsync client for the Mac to see if that works better. Just wanted to put this 
in as a status update in the mean time.
