But it proved not to be the case, and my worry was justified: -K --keep-dirlinks was introduced in version 2.6.3. Date: Sat Jun 5 16:16:30 2004. and Redhat 9 runs: $ rsync --version rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 Centos 3 runs: $ rsync --version rsync version 2.5.7 protocol version 26 What do we do?
