question

[Wallace Matthews]

Thanks Wayne, I did as you suggested and found that the remote system does NOT use
/home/wally/rsync/rsync-2.6.2/rsync which is what I had in my Command Line and what was
in my xxx.rsync_arvs file. This explained some of the weird behavior I was seeing. 
I had a 2.6.2 local system working with a 2.5.7 remote system.

I have updated all my servers to 2.6.2 and I will rerun my scripts. Hopefully, I will see
improved results.

That's the normal case if you don't use the --rsync-path=/PATH/rsync
option to tell rsync what program to run.  It is easy to determine this
for yourself by using -vv (and a nice small transfer) because rsync
tells you exactly what command it is running.
