Yes your statement sounds logic. But the use of --delete is stated as being: "delete files that don't exist on the sending side" Which I assume means those on the remote side. Since it isn't deleting the file on the remote side then rsync is a touch broken. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
