Yes, everything is syncing perfectly (AFAIK), No errors are encountered.
But in this case:
I create a tag on the master, it syncs to the mirror
I rename that tag on the master, it syncs to the mirror
The new tag is present on the mirror but the old tag is not removed.
My gut says it must have something to do with delete permissions, but after an
hour of searching the listserve messages I gave up on that.
(we are not using the post commit hook to sync, but instead a scheduled task
script because the developers thought it (post-commit-hook) was causing too
much delay on commits). Again no errors, the revision numbers are perfectly in
sync.
The only reason this is a problem is that we use these tags to build remotely
and it causes confusion with our non-technical build users when they see
duplicate tags with a single character different. (We use a date in the build
tag and someone keeps using 2013 instead of 2014)
I would expect that the same "complete" transaction that occurred on the master
would occur on the mirror.

There isn't really sufficient information to give a definitive answer. I'd
guess since you're talking about a master and mirror that you're using a
master/slave setup. In order for changes to get from the master to the slave
there needs to be an svnsync run. Usually that's done via a commit hook. Are
you sure your hooks are working?
