In this case I think it's actually the "symlink" failure causing the code 23. "delete_file" failures currently don't cause code 23, but they probably should because they result in an incorrect transfer. Rsync appears to be trying to delete what it believes is a directory from the destination and make a symlink there instead. However, its rmdir call fails with EEXIST (File exists), which isn't even listed as a possible error in my rmdir(2) man page. What is at the path /drp/fmttcesrv1/snapshots/fs/tce_data/pc-software ? Is it a directory, as rsync believes? Can you remove the directory manually with rmdir(1)? If you can't, you have a non-rsync-specific filesystem problem, while if you can, we'll have to investigate further why rsync is failing. Matt
