[Gluster-users] 3.3beta2 on centos 6.2 seems very broken

Do you have any symlinks in what you are rsyncing?  I did mention a bug a
little back with an easy to reproduce bug for me that involves extracting
a tar archive if there is a symlink in the tar file.  (Not sure if they
were our of sync, or if it just didn't make the symlink right).
