Please look for an "IO error encountered: skipping deletion" in the rsync
log (use -v).
If this is there, use the --ignore-errors option on rsync to delete even
if errors occur. This can happen if there are permissions problems on
the server, or for a variety of other reasons.
Tridge, this is what keeps happening to me on sourceforge, with files not
deleting just because something I'm mirroring makes a permissions mistake
somewhere and never catches it.
