how can this be: file has vanished in --list-only?

[Carlos Carvalho]

I'm getting file has vanished messages during a (recursive)
--list-only. I find it strange because I'd expect rsync to access each
file only once when just sending the receiver the file list. In which
circumstances can this happen? This is with 3.0.6 in linux.

There's still a small gap between the readdir that returns a file's
name and the stat on that file.  I bet that's what you're seeing.  If
you want to know for sure, you can strace rsync.
