Mike, I don't share your apparent assumption that emerge-webrsync is intrinsically less buggy than rsync. In any case, I can only answer for the behavior of rsync itself, so I need to know the actual rsync command line. The one you gave isn't consistent with the error message, in which the absolute path of the missing file doesn't have a component of the form "snapshot-xxxxxxxx". elai, perhaps you could find out the actual command line by writing an rsync wrapper script that prints out its arguments and getting emerge-webrsync to call that script instead of the real rsync executable. Printing out rsync's working directory might also be helpful.
