Hi,

from a nightly cronjob we're running the following rsync command:

rsync -axpHgotvr --bwlimit=2500 --delete --ignore-errors --force
--numeric-ids --progress --stats / /backup/

After having updated to rsync-3.0.7 (debian /lenny) we constantly get the
followning error message on every run:

rsync: unlink "/backup/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3" failed: Is a
directory (21)

We would appreciate any hints, thoughs and comments on how to solve the isssue
that rsync is no longer able to delete the content of e.g. that namend folder
above. 

Kind regards - philipp
