Syncronisation failure - Tracing problem

[Edward Grace]

Dear all,

I am trying to trace why Unison aborts certain transfers when  
syncronising between OS X and Linux.

So far I have traced the cause of the problem to something near the  
following log entries:  I really want to know exactly *where* in the  
source the process is failing.  Currently the abort message gets  
triggered with:

[abort] Checking line 0
[abort] Abort failure for line 0

I assume this is an error and that the abort message should state  
where in the source the failure occurred: line zero doesn't seem  
likely! ;-)

My assumption is that something bad occurs when creating the  
directory, I'd like to find out why.  I can make the directory fine  
on the command line, so it's not a length or other file limitation.

Can anyone suggest how I can track this down.  This relates to the  
following bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191295

Help would be appreciated as this is becoming a real pain!
