I think it's time we released a version of dirvish that at least ignores
that :-(  While backupping a live filesystem there's always a chance
that a file is removed between the time the file list was generated and
the time comes to actually transfer that file... For backup purposes
that is not a problem.

Actually, over on the rsync mailing list there was also discussion of
ignoring that situation, via an option. That would be fine too :-)
(although it means depending on at least a minimum version of rsync).

It may be listed in the log.

I stand corrected, du (nowadays? :-) handles its arguments as a whole
apparently. I could have sworn it didn't...
