Flames invitied if I'm wrong, but I think you're looking at the last file successfully transferred as opposed to the first file unsuccessfully transferred. I think I saw a /var in there You get something ungodly long trying to rsync the file that is logging the rsync. something like rsync -av --exclude "log/" --exclude "work/" $name /sdb1/2006-04-01-hostname/ may be in order (the above is just a "local" copy to a USB drive. You probably have some timing issues as to whether or not rsyncing the log file actually works or is an infinite loop. I'd put watching the grass grow at a higher priority than trying to "fix" the "problem".
Thanks for your reply. I needed some time to continue testing. It turned out that the LaCie "Ethernet disk" was the culprit. Something was causing a timeout during the data write and the process was hanging up. I've since installed another internal drive in the machine and we've been happily backing up servers ever since.
