problem with the delete option

[Manuel Kissoyan]

ok, this going more complicated....

In the sending side do not exists a directory called "piusfont", in the 
receving side yes...

there are no entries with this directory name, no "delete_in_dir(DIRECTORY)" 
or "make_file()", what next?

btw, dunno if this have something to do but im running the rsync through the 
backup server so the backup server is the receiving side and the other 
server is the sending side, so basically the backup server is running rsync 
to pull the data.

I also did find something with another user account that it is in the backup 
server but not anymore in the other server:

delete_in_dir(home/iccdom/public_html/administrator)

This was in the logs in example but rsync havent deleted it from the backup 
server.


Thank you!
