When I try to back up my libraries with
rsync -azv --delete -e ssh /home/sarah/ saga:/home/sarah/bupembladaily/
I get error message
rsync: readlink_stat("/home/sarah/.gvfs") failed: Permission denied (13)
FATAL I/O ERROR: dying to avoid a --delete-during issue with a pre-3.0.7 receiver.
rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at flist.c(1800) [sender=3.0.7]
Can anyone help?
Maybe userid saga does not have permission to delete the file indicated in the error message?
saga is no userid, it is the name of the remote compter
Right.
Still, seems a permission problem, isn't it?
I have given all permissions to recieving library but still have the problem. When I run rsyync without --delete - no problems but with it I get the message "dying to avoid a --delete-during issue with a pre-3.0.7 receiver".
I still have the problem bu found a solution in:
articles.slicehost.com/2007/10/10/rsync-exclude-files-and-folders
I excluded the indicated library and now it work.
Thanks a lot for being so persistant about permissions.

Yes, but that did not actually solve the underlying problem.
You simply excluded the offending file from rsync.
The problem remains.
Yes I know. Let's see what happens when I start on the next computer. I am migrating from Fedora 13 to Ubuntu after a crash involving a few computers in the office. The remote is the same, unaltered, but this problem came up when I started backup after getting my local desk top up and running.
Understood....
In the real world, we often bandaid problems so we can get to the next step.
Yesterday, for example, I could not get Xcache to work on a new Linux server I was building. I just disabled it and the problem went away
