I've been using rsync on OS X to sync all our website admins. It was working fine until the OS X 10.6.3 update!

Now it creates thousands of empty (0-kb) folders. It only does it when synching to a mounted network drive (which we need to do) as when I sync to my local drive it works as usual!

I've tried excludes which don't seem to be working... also tried a different version of rsync so it's an OS X issue.

echo ""
echo "~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*"
echo " SYNCING up KINEMASTIK"
echo "~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*"

/usr/local/bin/rsync -aNHAXv --progress --exclude-from 'exclude.txt' /Volumes/Groups/Projects/483_Modern_Activity_Website/web/youradmin/ /Users/dan/Dropbox/documents/WORK/kinemastik/WEBSITE/youradmin/  

echo ""
echo "~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*"
echo " SYNCING up CHRIS BROOKS YOURADMIN"
echo "~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*"

/usr/local/bin/rsync -aNHAXv --progress --exclude-from 'exclude.txt' /Volumes/Groups/Projects/483_Modern_Activity_Website/web/youradmin/ /Volumes/Groups/Projects/516_ChrisBrooks/website/youradmin/

Has anyone experienced the same problem?
