Hi! I seem to have a similar problem. I checked different versions and options, and it seems to happen when the server version is >= 2.6.1 - there's no problem with 2.6.0. The client version doesn't matter. The --delete option is required to show the bug. The two directories may well be uptodate and even empty. It doesn't work with any two directories though. And I get a SEGFAULT.
Listing on the client: mail2:~# ll -d / /usr /usr/local;ll -aR /usr/local/lib/ /usr/local/etc/ drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 May 14 16:13 / drwxr-xr-x 19 bin bin 4096 Feb 6 15:19 /usr drwxrwsr-x 12 root staff 4096 Mar 17 17:55 /usr/local /usr/local/etc/: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 4096 May 14 16:16 . drwxrwsr-x 12 root staff 4096 Mar 17 17:55 .. /usr/local/lib/: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 4096 May 14 16:15 . drwxrwsr-x 12 root staff 4096 Mar 17 17:55 ..

Hope this helps finding the bug. Can I provide more information or run more tests?
