rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at flist.c(980)

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

I've got another error that is not in the FAQ ;) Ran from a script in a 
directory that doesn't exist anymore:

	shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
	building file list ... 
	pop_dir /mnt/dar : No such file or directory
	rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at flist.c(980)

I guess it is caused because the current directory (pwd) has been deleted, 
nevertheless I guess rsync should handle this situation (as any other 
command can handle it).

The directory in question isn't used by rsync, it was just coincidence I 
was in that directory while it was removed (by rpm) after I ran my 
synchronizing script.

The
	pop_dir /mnt/dar : No such file or directory

message blows my mind because that directory exists and has not been 
touched.

Kind regards,
