No, you misunderstand the meaning of "partial" here. --partial-dir is where the partially transferred file is stored if rsync is interrupted with --partial (I'm not sure if --partial-dir implies --partial, it probably does). It does NOT mean where the temporary files are stored during transfer. Paul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
