rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at main.c(925)

[Dogsbody]

Hi,

Sorry I didn't want to fill my original mail up with too much info  :-\

Rsync on the Linux box is exactly the same version also compiled from source.

SSH on Solaris Box:  SSH Version Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.

SSH on Linux Box:  OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090605f

An abridged version of the script that is being run (on the solaris box):

#!/bin/sh

LOGFILE=/path/to/logfile
USER=abuser
HOST=host.domain.com
SRC=/path/to/source
DST=/path/to/destination

/usr/local/bin/rsync -rtvvv \
        --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
        --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync \
        --max-delete=10 \
        --timeout=300 \
        --copy-unsafe-links \
        --log-format='%f %l' \
        --stats \
        ${USER}@${HOST}:${SRC} ${DST} \
>> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1

exit 0


Thank you again if anyone can help me.
