Actually, Ubuntu is Debian based, which means that the built-in gzip
probably has the relevant patch already. Run "gzip --rsyncable" on your
standard gzip, if it worked, you needn't have bothered. No harm done,
one way or the other.

BTW, what version of rsyncrypto does Ubuntu universe carry at the
moment? As Debian Sid carries 0.16, I would have expected Ubuntu
Universe to carry it too. This means you could have just done "apt-get
install rsyncrypto"... :-)

Yes, I get a similar problem when I go through a similar path.

The directory recursion code in rsyncrypto was greatly complicated as a
result of the file name encryption option. Consider this bug report
acknowledged, and give me some time to try and track it down. Thank you
very much for your report.

Yes, the way by which you tell it to encrypt file names does not change
rsyncrypto's behavior when it does.
