Possible Bug report

[Ferguson, Duncan]

I have a server (A) with a directory structure I want to copy to another
server (/usr/local/bin...)
On the client (B), only /usr exists (/usr/local doesn't).

I used:
  /opt/PKGrsync/bin/rsync -a --delete --force
--rsync-path=/opt/PKGrsync/bin/rsync --exclude=save  -v -v /usr/local/bin
B:/usr/local/bin

but it failed with:
opening connection using /usr/bin/ssh B /opt/PKGrsync/bin/rsync --server
-vvlogDtpr --delete --force . /usr/local/bin 
building file list ... 
expand file_list to 4000 bytes, did move
excluding directory bin/save because of pattern save
done
rsync: mkdir /usr/local/bin: No such file or directory
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(285)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)

Creating /usr/local on B cured the problem and it worked without further
issue.  It seems the mkdir should include "-p" possibly.

Server (A) is on Solaris 2.6 5/98 105181-25
Client (B) is on Solaris 8 02/02 108528-13

Thanks

  Duncs
