(heres my command
do shell script " rsync -Eauvz '/Users/waynemelrose/Desktop/
test/' '/Users/waynemelrose/Desktop/testdestination' --delete"
)
I've had this trouble before and sorted it out by removing
the .DS_store file. although I'm wondering if there is a better
alternative to this? or a correct way to have finder update the
contents of it's folders?
Have you tried rsyncx <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/
macosx/16814>?
On that page it states: "You cannot use the standard Mac OS X
install of rsync to manage HFS+ volumes."
I don't know how true this is since the product doesn't
specifically say that it's been updated for OS X 10.4 and rsync has
added the -E option, but it would certainly account for
the .DS_Store issue.

Thanks Philip,
it seems very strange that this is something that could have been
handled! As you can see my command is using -E and I'm still having
the issue (As I mentioned in my re-post, it seemed to only happen
with small files)
I can actually get away with the files being temporarily invisible,
as no human has a need to see the files in finder anyway, I just
thought it would have been nice to sort out.. I'll check out rsyncx
though!
