           Summary: unable to rsync filenames with whitespace from remote
                    source
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: tim at thewunders.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When trying to rsync files located on a remote server using:
  rsync -av remote.domain.com:/path/to/files/with\ whitespace/
/path/to/local/destination

The rsync fails with a message similar to:
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/path/to/files/with" failed: No such
file or directory (2)
rsync: link_stat "/root/whitespace/." failed: No such file or directory (2)
done
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recur
sive option?
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(723)

Doing the transfer the other way works. For example:
  rsync -av /path/to/files/with\ whitespace/
remote.domain.com:/path/to/local/destination 
would copy the files properly.

This is tested from CentOS 4.4 with rsync 2.6.3 and Fedora Core 4 and 6 using
rsync 2.6.8.
