Hi, No I think this bug is not related. However, I am wondering : if the directory is write-protected, even for root, that means it never changes right ? or is it that there is no file creation, only updates ? In either case, the better would be to treat this particular directory separately. Suppose this directory is called "secure", you would create a "secure" folder on the destination, with a chmod +w, then do : rsync $SRC $DST -x secure\* rsync $SRC/secure $DST/secure/
