When I try this (with -n added, as I have no interest in downloading all
of that), I don't see any paths beginning with /src/ being listed. The
last file listed is "scripts/text-processing/wptoascii".
What's the problem?

Now I'm really confused.

If I use the above command with -anv then all '/src/***' files are excluded.

If I 'rm -rf src' and run the command again without -n then all the files
from src get synced again.

I'm confused when -azn and -az work differently.

Suggestions welcome.

OK, that would explain why Paul and I couldn't see the incorrect
behavior. It looks like there is a really perverse problem with either
your copy of rsync or the one on ftp.funet.fi . You might try a freshly
compiled rsync 3.0.2 on your end, and if the problem persists, ask the
ftp.funet.fi administrator.

Bizarre. I just did and rpmbuild of rsync-3.0.2-0 under Fedora fc8 and installed
it on several servers. All the rsync between these newest version or rsync seem
to work as expected.

And still whatever files under src/ I remove are synced again.

It appears the funet.fi site is acting unexpectedly.

Let me know if there is some way I can identify the protocol version of the
funet.fi server as I saw no mention of this in the rsync man page.

If not... ah well...

I passed it the -X option, which it doesn't support, and got this:

rsync: on remote machine: -dXe.L: unknown option
rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at clientserver.c(685)[sender=2.6.8]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) [receiver=3.0.2]

So it looks like the ftp.funet.fi daemon is 2.6.8. But I set up my own
2.6.8 daemon with a small number of files and couldn't reproduce the
problem. I guess you should either take the problem up with the
ftp.funet.fi administrators (there seem to be some contacts at
http://www.csc.fi/english/funet ) or switch to a different CPAN mirror.

I just sent them an email suggesting they upgrade to 3.0.2.

Thanks for all your assistance.
