Isn't that strange? The file is just new, and isn't on the server...

Today the rsync run again, the backup directory shows that there where no 
file changed.
The Internet statistics for that connection shows: IN 14M, OUT 
133M!  (Incoming on IP port 22, outgoing keep state)
That while the logs shows that there where no files where copied.

The follwing error showed up today in the logfile:

Received disconnect from IP: 2: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable^M
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=150): about to call exit(12)
