Ok. I have done some experimenting with the ""file has vanished:" problem.
The most recent file I had exhibiting this problem was named: "University Student's Realty Associates Power Point.ppt" It did not exist on the receiving side of the rsysc after the run. I manually created the mount to the windows PC share and navigated to the file. I could list it with "ls" but could not "cat" it - got an error that "The file did not exist." Something possessed me to remove the "'" and rename the file to: "University Students Realty Associates Power Point.ppt" It rsynced fine. Just for giggles, I named it back to: "University Student's Realty Associates Power Point.ppt" It rsynced fine and now I can access it through the mount from a shell terminal. There are many files on the "source" system with "'" in their name, so I know the problem is not the using of the "'", but rather with how it is coded. Perhaps, this is related to other posts concerning "8bit" vs. "UTF8" vs. "iso8859-1" vs. etc. character coding.
