isn't this the usual 'replace --devices by -D' problem? And it's
'fileListReceive()', not 'listFileReceived()' ;-)

Since BackupPC doesn't use rsync but rather File::RsyncP, I doubt it will.
Try either changing '--devices' to '-D' in your rsync args or adding
'--specials'.
Hope that helps.

P.S.: /root and /etc usually don't contain any special files. /var tends to
contain some sockets.
