svnsync isn't working

Is anyone seeing this message that has any ideas how to fix this? (
This message is a repeat. ) It's now been about 3 weeks since the last
replication / backup.
The repo is large enough that doing a hot-backup on the production
server causes delays in day-to-day business.
( This is one of the problems that I'm trying to solve. )

But-- along the way to figuring out how to filter out specific paths, I
discovered that the repo wasn't replicating.
I need to get this operational again so that I can get backups flowing
again. ... even if it means sacrificing specific revisions.

Here are the specifics:

I had a replication repo start failing a few weeks ago with the message:
syncing: "svnsync: Delta source ended unexpectedly"

Ultimately, I ended up unintentionally removing the files for the
replication repo.

So now I'm creating a new one.

The source repo is located on a server running svn, version 1.4.5 (r25188)

.. which is being replicated to a new repo on a server running svn,
version 1.5.6 (r36142)

( I started replicating at revision 0. )

I'm now getting:
svnsync: Path 'QA/Releases/Q2 2.6.3/Q2 Adaptors
2.6.3.1617/ProgramBins/Sample/QuorumChangeOfAddress' not present

How is this possible, if nothing is being filtered from the repo, and
nothing can ever be deleted from an SVN repo?

More to the point, how can this be fixed?
