DO NOT REPLY [Bug 7618] symlinks and --link-dest

------- Comment #16 from matt at mattmccutchen.net  2010-08-14 23:26 CST -------
I just noticed the "no symtimes" (i.e., HAVE_LUTIMES off) in the "rsync
--version" output for the client in comment #0.  Consistent with that, rsync
does not attempt to set the symlink's mtime in the first log in comment #12. 
So the problem must be elsewhere.

Next theory: It looks like symlinks on HP-UX can have permissions other than
777, according to a discussion
(http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1281845702588+28353475&threadId=956122)
I found by searching Google for "hp-ux symlink permission".  And it looks like
rsync (in unchanged_attrs) will consider a difference in permissions of a
symlink to disqualify it for hard-linking, even if rsync is unable to set
symlink permissions (HAVE_LCHMOD off).  What are the permissions of
home/zumrova/.tsm on the HP-UX source?
