rsync uid 4294967295 (-1) is impossible to set on...

Hi there.

I have a problem with rsync backup on my ultra 2.

I have some backup jobs running rsync, connecting to a windows machine running the deltacopy rsync server.
Files are copied from the windows machine to the nas.

On firmware 4.2.16 it worked flawless.

After i upgraded to 4.1.17, whenever i run af job, i get a "backup failed" error (though the files are copied!), and the log is full of entries like this:

uid 4294967295 (-1) is impossible to set on [filename]

Can anybody help my to eliminate these errors?

Thanks in advance

    Thank you so much WhoCares. I appreciate you taking the time to find a work around.

    Can you tell me... when a new version of radiator comes out will it automatically overwrite the old version of rsync with whatever version is packaged in radiator?

    Yes, but a bug has been filed for it (at least on Sparc) and it will be fixed so newer Rsync works: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=332968#p332968

    Not sure if it's already fixed in 4.2.20 betas or not, but if not hopefully it will be.
