OK, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for...
I don't think the link error is caused by my data (I have no symlinks).
For whatever reason, it appears that a blank is leading the file list,
and the 'stat' on NULL is what is causing the link_stat error.
write(1, " b u i l d i n g f i l".., 23) = 23
brk(0x00058668) = 0
brk(0x00060668) = 0
lstat64("", 0xFFBEF8D8) Err#2 ENOENT
write(2, " l i n k _ s t a t :".., 39) = 39
The rsync child then just says an error has occured and tells the
parent to not bother deleting files because of it.
waitid(P_PID, 10233, 0xFFBEF890, WEXITED|WTRAPPED|WNOHANG) = 0

write(1, " w r o t e 7 9 8 5 5 ".., 54) = 54
write(1, " t o t a l s i z e i".., 43) = 43

write(2, " r s y n c e r r o r :".., 55) = 55
I see that I can turn on "ignore-errors" mode, but that just seems
dangerous if there were ever anything other than the case I am seeing
here. So I guess my question is what's with the lstat64("")??
