Rsync Error Code 23?

[earl.j.sanchez at seagate.com]

Thank you for your response Matt.
On the source server, "/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software/pc" is a symlink
to the directory "/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc".

On the destination server,
"/drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software" is a directory which
contains the partial content of "/drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc".
rmdir cannot remove "/drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software"
which is not empty as it contains partial content from
"/drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc". See below directory structure.

In this case I think it's actually the "symlink" failure causing the
code 23.  "delete_file" failures currently don't cause code 23, but they
probably should because they result in an incorrect transfer.

Rsync appears to be trying to delete what it believes is a directory
from the destination and make a symlink there instead.  However, its
rmdir call fails with EEXIST (File exists), which isn't even listed as a
possible error in my rmdir(2) man page.  What is at the
path /drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software ?  Is it a
directory, as rsync believes?  Can you remove the directory manually
with rmdir(1)?  If you can't, you have a non-rsync-specific filesystem
problem, while if you can, we'll have to investigate further why rsync
is failing.
