This is a potential drawback of the include/exclude approach: the root source directory /opt/bea/test/ is in the file list, so rsync is trying to copy its attributes to the destination directory /var/log/Wlog/TEST/ and failing, presumably because the receiving rsync doesn't own /var/log/Wlog/TEST/ and isn't root. If you are fine with rsync copying the attributes, you could make it possible by changing the ownership of /var/log/Wlog/TEST/ . Otherwise, there's nothing you can do under the include/exclude approach but ignore that error message and the exit code 23, but then you risk missing other, more significant errors. So I'm afraid I may have led you wrong. Another approach is to use --files-from but have a script expand the globs in your files-from file before passing it to rsync. The attached Perl script "ff-expand" does this. Here's how you would modify your original command to use it (note, it needs to know the source dir): ff-expand /app/dd/gesb myfile | rsync -arv --files-from=- /app/dd/gesb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log/hhsb Or if you find this bash syntax more appealing (I do): rsync -arv --files-from=<(ff-expand /app/dd/gesb myfile) /app/dd/gesb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log/hhsb Matt
