rsync --delete is not deleting

[Hedley J. Phillips]

I managed to solve this in the end.

It was file permissions. I had originally copied all the data across by
restoring from Backup tape and then started using Rsync to keep the two
identical.

After deleting the directories in question and rsyncing them from
scratch, the problem has been solved.



Thanks,

Hedley Phillips
