Using webdav to access the remote MacMini." Reading though these helpful comments I looked into the volume type I was syncing to (hfs+) and the way it was mounted (webdav). I tired syncing again but using a regualr afp mount rather than webdav. Worked fine! Once you know what you are looking for, Google is the place to find it, and "webdav timestamps" reveals all kind of articles indicating problmes along the lines I saw. I guess I can now adjust things to get my script to work. Thanks all!

I usually default to AFP when networking Mac to Mac. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR |
