[SLUG] Rsync not deleteing files

[pworboys <pworboys@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon

I use rsync to backup our /home directory to a backup server. The 
actual command used (in a script) is:

rsync -avz --delete --ignore-errors --rsh=ssh 192.168.1.2:/home/* /home

The command gets spawned every couple of hours via CRON by as root.

The problem I have is that files or driectories that exist on the 
target system are *not* deleted if they don't exist on the livesystem 
(192.168.1.2) which is what --delete is supposed to do - or so I 
thought.

Any ideas ?

Thanking all in advance

Peter Worboys
