I am having a problem with rsync not deleting files on the destination that no longer exist on the source. The command I am using is: rsync -vaz --delete /bantemp/* backenp650:/bantemp

Once the two trees are in sync, if I add a file to the source, run rsync again, it will copy over the one new file. If I delete the file on the source, run rsync, the file still exists on the destination. I do not have an exclude list and I am not running an rsync daemon. I was having the problem using rsync-2.5.4-1 (RPM from the AIX Linux Toolbox) so I removed that and compiled 2.5.7 on AIX 5.2 in 64 bit mode using VAC 6.0.

running rsync returns -
rsync  version 2.5.7  protocol version 26

I found this in the archive http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg07868.html, and I followed the solution of upgrading to the latest.

The objective is to completely mirror a tree between two hosts. Only one host will be the master (source). Can anyone help me? Thanks.
