I thought to try renaming one of the files on the destination.  I changed 
"ads_live_access.log" to "HOLD.ads_live_error.log.9.gz".

This had the effect of changing:

	f.st...... ads_live_error.log.9.gz

to

	f+++++++++  ads_live_error.log.9.gz

If I am interpreting this correctly, then even with the lack of a file 
named ads_live_error.log.9.gz on the destination side, no "fuzzy" file is 
being sought (or at least found).  Instead, ads_live_error.log.9.gz is 
simply to be (re)copied.

Note that the source ads_live_error.log.9.gz would not match the 
destination "HOLD.ads_live_error.log.9.gz".  Instead, it should have 
matched the destination ads_live_error.log.10.gz.  I mention this in case 
that plays a role in this "failure".

Thanks...Andrew
