Since you want the file to have the same name "status.csv" on the
destination as on the source, you can omit that name from the
destination path: "fileserver::test/20070129_1012/".  This will have
the same effect except that rsync will create the directory
"20070129_1012" if it doesn't exist before trying to receive a file
into it.

Note to people who might encounter this message in the archives: since
rsync 2.6.7, when the receiver is receiving a single file that is not
a directory, it tries to change into the containing directory first.
Thus, people who try the original command with rsync 2.6.7 or newer
should see a "push_dir" error instead of a "mkstemp" error.
