  rsync also fails if the target file doesn't exist, because rsync always create
  a temporary file, and tries to rename it. But it works in all cases with your -o option.
  I found an other fix, using "rsync -T tempdir ..." but it's not so good, as rsync must
  move to the target dir after the transfer, which of course takes more time than a rename,
  especially if tempdir is not on the same device.

Thanks a lot for your help
