Hi Everyone,

I've been running into a protocol error when attempting to rsync files
between to hosts over ssh. Here is the line I've been using with the
verbosity cranked up:

rsync -avvvv -e "ssh -l test" /localpath/to/sync xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::module
cmd=ssh -l test machine=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx user= path=module
cmd=ssh -l test xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rsync --server --daemon .
opening connection using ssh -l test xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rsync --server
- --daemon .
test at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (12 bytes read so far)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=189): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=189): about to call exit(12)


Does anyone know what could be causing the data stream error?


Thanks,
- -Kevin
