The WHEN is standing in for the times that you might want the deletions
to happen.

Look in the script for '--delete-' and 'RSYNC_DELETE_METHOD'

If you've added a --delete-... option in your local settings then you
are probably ending up with both --delete-after and whatever you have
set, thus giving you the error.

You could try inserting:

  set -x

just before the where rsync is invoked (the line numbers shown here):

  ~archvsync$ grep -n '  ${RSYNC}' bin/ftpsync
  658:            ${RSYNC} ${RSYNC_SSL_OPTIONS} ${RSYNC_OPTIONS} ${RSYNC_OPTIONS1} ${EXCLUDE} ${SOURCE_EXCLUDE} \
  733:            ${RSYNC} ${RSYNC_SSL_OPTIONS} ${RSYNC_OPTIONS} ${RSYNC_OPTIONS2} ${EXCLUDE} ${SOURCE_EXCLUDE} \

which will tell you what options you're actually providing to rsync that
give rise to this error.

Cheers, Phil.
