how can this be: "file has vanished" in --list-only?

[Carlos Carvalho-3]

I'm getting "file has vanished" messages during a (recursive)
--list-only. I find it strange because I'd expect rsync to access each
file only once when just sending the receiver the file list. In which
circumstances can this happen? This is with 3.0.6 in linux.

There's still a small gap between the "readdir" that returns a file's
name and the "stat" on that file.  I bet that's what you're seeing.  If
you want to know for sure, you can strace rsync.
