As a follow up to my question...I tried syncing a directory with some files of zero length and it appears that they are causing the problems. The message says "Windows - Delayed Write Failed" "Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Test\(filename of 0 lenght file) The data has been lost. The error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere."
Any ideas why I would get this? I have been doing some searching at groups.google.com and have found that other people aren't having any trouble mirroring files with leghth of zero. --Luke > Does rsync handle cases where files have been deleted off of the rsync > server side after the client starts downloading from the server?
