There's a sorting bug in 2.6.1 that can occur when --relative is used that can make it update files incorrectly (since the file list is out of order, rsync asks for the wrong file's data).
** Do not use --relative (-R) in 2.6.1. ** ** Don't forget that --files-from sets --relative by default. ** Rsync 2.6.2 will be released very soon to fix this. Until then, either avoid --relative, fall back to 2.6.0, or apply this patch to the 2.6.1 source: http://rsync.samba.org/sort.patch ..wayne..
