SUMMARY: Error message

[Boris Gegenheimer]

I found the reason I think anyway.
It was the different versions of rsync on the 2 machines.
I upgraded the one on the AIX machine and then it copied just fine.

Thank you jw and Michael for answering.

Boris

I have also seen that message with times before 1970. This is the standard 
text for EOVERFLOW.
