rsync: mkstemp "/20070129_1012/.status.csv.IWS933" (in test) failed: No such file or directory (2)

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the info.
The new Debian Sarge server I built is using 2.6.9 version of rsync which
before, was not that new. It used to work fine (as far as I can tell you)
that sending a single file, would also create the directory if it did not
exist. Am I wrong to say this? Ever since the new server came up, rsync
failed when I sent this file first before the directory was there.

I don't want to send the entire directory, since it contains many other
files that don't interest me and whice would slow down my cycles.
