It could be the times that are too large, particularly if NFS is involved. NFS defines times as being 32 bit unsigned values but Unix time is a 32 bit signed value and hence times before 1970 cannot be used in NFS. /Michael -- This space intentionally left non-blank. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
