I erased that directory in that error message (/home/swebster/fdtdtemp/temp/examples), which contained some files.
Now rsync is copying those files to the backup directory since I specified --backup. Except that it already created the directory in the --backup-dir directory (in this case "Tuesday") and seems to be mistakenly trying to recreate the directory when copying another file in the same directory over? I don't really get it, but this seems the same as the old bug, but with a modified error message. Maybe I can try to create a test case, but this doesn't always happen, so I might have some difficulty. I just thought I would check to see if anyone else had the same problem, but perhaps not...
