Hi, Using "--delete-after" does not work with 2.6.3pre1 (sender, Fedora Core 2) and 2.5.7 (receiver, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3):

Nevertheless "--delete" works. When changing roles (sender: RHEL3 with rsync-2.5.7, receiver: FC2 with rsync-2.6.3pre1) there are no problems. With rsync-2.6.2 (on Fedora Core 2) everything is OK.
