Great, thanks for all the help! One other problem now, one of the
studio servers is an XServe and therefore running off an OS x
machine. It has an older version of RSync installed on it (2.6.3)
which does not have the 'only-write-batch' option - I presume this was
just added in the newer versions and its not something that is
excluded in the build for the OS x system? I tried updating to the
latest RSync version (2.6.9) on this machine but after installing (./
configure, make, make install) it has clearly not replaced the
previous version of Rsync. Am I missing something blindingly obvious
here that i need to do to update the RSync version on the OS x machine?
Thanks.
Cav.
