No such errors in Xfer logs, and the thread doesn't appear to be the
same problem. Makes no sense to me either. I've used rsync for many
years, and BackupPC for the last 2 years. [sigh]

I installed via the archive, and I just now updated to 3.3.0, also from
the source code in hopes that would correct something. So far, no joy.
I also used cpan to re-install the 3 perl modules.
Because of how long it takes to do a full backup on any of my hosts, I
probably won't know for sure until tomorrow if any of this did any good.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks for your help.
