Hola, 

Here is the rsync line i am currently trying to use that yeilds the
results in the log's listed below.

rsync -czvvL --password-file /etc/rsync.passwd --bwlimit=175
--timeout=9999 rsync://pub@BLAH.xxx.com/critical/*
/STOR-1/backups/critical/ >> /var/log/rsync.vail.pulls.vegas.critical
2>&1
echo "------- END NEW ENTRY --------" >>
/var/log/rsync.vail.pulls.vegas.critical




Tried the -L option and i get this :

"opening tcp connection to vegas.scg.inet port 873
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?"

i then add --recursive as well and now i get :

"opening tcp connection to vegas.scg.inet port 873
receiving file list ...
done
delta transmission enabled
wrote 134 bytes  read 113 bytes  98.80 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(1045)"

*_*All Files/folders/symlinks are 777 so it's not a permissions issue i
don't believe. 

Please advise 

Thanks
Edward
