Indeed, this is very frustrating, 20M is not a huge file, but it's the size which is giving me trouble (ok, it could be less, haven't tried, but I don't want to be too obsessive :-) > > I don't really have any good thoughts to offer.

I thought exactly the same thing, that's why I tried scp after rsync. One of the machines reports this: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 178G 146G 24G 87% / tmpfs 1007M 0 1007M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 1002M 172K 1002M 1% /dev tmpfs 1007M 0 1007M 0% /dev/shm This is the remote machine I'm trying to synchronize with every night.
