Yes, this was pointed out to me in my other thread.

I did search the list prior to posting.  I was able to find some posts
relating to my problem, but no solutions.

Just to include the solution in this thread for future searches, here
is what I had to do:

In $Conf{RsyncArgs} in my main config.pl file, I changed "--devices"
to "-D".  This is needed due to a change in the arguments for recent
versions of rsync.

It seems to be working -- my backup has been running for 13.5 hours so
far...  (first full backup of a 250GB filesystem)
