Most likely the file existed in the source when rsync built the file list but was gone by the time rsync tried to transfer it, so rsync skipped the transfer. This is usually nothing to worry about. Since version 2.6.0, rsync reports this situation as "file has vanished" and exits with code 24 instead of 23; if you upgrade rsync, you can distinguish vanishings from actual errors. > (Perhaps off topic, but... rsync doesn't store any metadata anywhere > that persists between invocations, does it? Surely not.) Rsync does not store metadata. Matt
