Hi:
I have an rsync server providing four separate areas for rsync clients 
to connect to.  I only have one client and it is running a backup 
script.  The nightly backup runs fine through the first three shares 
until it gets to one called [webbackup].  This directory contains only 6 
files and the first file it tries to get is about 400 meg in size.  It 
begins to get this file and then the following shows up: (main is the 
server name and webbackup is the share name)

2005-11-08 04:14:14: Starting backup of main / webbackup
2005-11-08 04:14:14: receiving file list ... done
2005-11-08 04:14:14: ./
2005-11-08 04:14:41: acimsdb.zip
2005-11-08 04:14:42: inflate returned -3 (0 bytes)2005-11-08 04:14:42: 
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(416)
2005-11-08 04:14:42: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (254 bytes 
read so far)
2005-11-08 04:14:42: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream 
(code 12) at io.c(165)


Any ideas what may be causing this?  It works on the other shares before 
this one fine.  I've checked file permissions and they are o.k. as well. 
  If I delete the contents of the [webbackup] share on the server and 
put fresh copies of files in there, it will work the first time but not 
after that.  I'm stumped.

Any help is welcomed.

Thanks
James
