rsync returned 23

[Ian Clancy]

Hello Rsync users,

I,m using rsnapshot, an incremental backup too based on rsync to backup data
from remote servers using ssh. The data mainly consists of windows shares
(samba & windows NT4 Server). Most of the shares backup ok but when backing
up some shares the following error is recorded in  
/var/log/rsnapshot :

[20/Mar/2004:01:17:45] ERROR: /usr/local/bin/rsync returned 23

Once this error has been recieved the backup stops, the data having been
partially backed up. I cant understand this because other times the backup
will work correctly. This does seem to happen more often on NT4 Server
though.

I am using the following parameters with rsync:

-rtlD --delete --numeric-ids

When googling for a solution i found the folling link :

http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-August/006812.html

Which states the " rsync returns 23 (RERR_PARTIAL) when a file has been
deleted after the list has been created " . This does not make much sence to
me but maybe someone else can make sense of it.

Any help/comments please ?.
Thank you.

Ian
