cannot delete non-empty directory

Hello,

I just upgraded from rsync 2.6.4 to 3.0.5 on Solaris 9 (sparc). Since 
then, I'm getting this error "cannot delete non-empty directory" on some 
directories.

My command is:

rsync -rltDvz --block-size=32768 --delete --delete-excluded --force 
--stats --perms=off --chmod=ug=rwX --chmod=o=rX --include "fchba/**" 
--exclude "*" $SQABASE/SQA/ $DESTBASE/SQA/

The only difference in my command since upgrading was the addition of 
the --perms and --chmod options which is why I upgraded to use the chmod 
feature.

I searched the bugs and new and didn't see anything regarding this. It 
appears to me to be a bug, can anyone confirm?
