quote from the rsync man page:

       --link-dest=DIR
              ...

              If DIR is a relative path,  it  is  relative  to  the
	      destination directory.


And independant of what the man page says: it works pretty good so far
for over a week now. But I admit that rsync evolved over the time and
wasn't bug free either.

I run rsync 2.6.8 on the dirvish side and 2.6.4 on the remote doing
push and pull. The man page quote is valid for both version. For what
version does your information apply (to isolate the version requirement
for this issue)?
