Did you try to just run 'mv' with these paths in the shell?


Interesting. The unison run failed with:
Failed [Documents/0.NEW/TODO/Scans.260727]: Error in renaming=20
/mnt/autofs/davfs/hidrive/public/Documents/0.NEW/TODO/.unison.Scans.260727.=
161efda76924fe565b32ea2ffb5e1855.unison.tmp=20
to /mnt/autofs/davfs/hidrive/public/Documents/0.NEW/TODO/Scans.260727:

.260727.161efda76924fe565b32ea2ffb5e1855.unison.tmp)]

Doing the same on the shell works:
mv=20
/mnt/autofs/davfs/hidrive/public/Documents/0.NEW/TODO/.unison.Scans.260727.=
161efda76924fe565b32ea2ffb5e1855.unison.tmp=20

-> '/mnt/autofs/davfs/hidrive/public/Documents/0.NEW/TODO/Scans.260727'

Is this a timing issue, or does some syscall rename() behave different from=
=20
mv? I guess we need a trace?
