I am surprised to see that it sets LocalFileName and Url to the file inside newdir instead of newdir itself. Needless to say, this makes rsync unhappy as newdir doesn't exist on the destination yet. Is it possible that setting preserve_relative_paths = true will affect this?
What's weirder is the condor log file shows the following even if 'newdir' exists in the output_destination. The file 'newdir/date' ends up on the submit host and looks correct.
