"rsync --delete" won't delete certain files

[Izidor Jerebic]

Hello, Peter,

Are there any errors while doing the rsync?

I have recently discovered that to create identical copy on mac os x  
(in the presence of any errors), you need to additionally specify -- 
ignore-errors  and --force-delete, otherwise nothing will be deleted  
(it seems that as soon as any error is encountered, delete is switched  
off).
