I encounter this bug, using Ubuntu 12,04 and rsnapshot 1.3.1. So apparantly, the bug is *not* fixed in 1.3.1 (or later. It even seems to be worse: after setting sync_first to 1, no backup works, not only the first one. My bug could be a different bug because I have not seen any error message as in this bug (even when verbose = 5), it just does not work: no error/warning/message but no backup.
