Howdy all,

I'm using rsync in conjunction with backuppc and have been backing up this 
share without incident for almost 3 years and it has decided to go and hang on 
me. Other shares on the same machine sync fine with identical settings, and 
nothing has changed on the backup end other than some routine dist-upgrades to 
keep update on security patches. I checked the apt cache and no rsync related 
dpkgs seemed to be hanging around in there so...

Checked files with recent ctimes and mtimes, nothing funny looking there like 
recursive links.

Log excerpt attached beneath. I think alphabetically xmlrpc.php may be the last 
file in the share, is it coincidence it hangs right after? Thoughts? Ideas? 
Unfounded speculation? Blatant slander?  Anything? Just about out of ideas on 
my end. I've got a dozen or so other hosts that are happily syncing away and 
passing all their unit tests but this one has greeted me the last 5 or 6 days 
with a sad face and I don't seem to be making any progress. Any ideas at all? 
Again, log snippet underneath. Let me know if this is a backuppc issue and I am 
barking up the wrong tree, but there is definitely an rsync process sitting out 
there indefinitely long.
