[Bucardo-general] onetimecopy is sometimes not carried out even though the flag is set

[Frank Buschmann]

Dear community,
a strange phenomenon appears here in my multi-master-replication  
set-up with bucardo in respect to 'onetimecopy' that drives me insane.
I start off with writing the dump of the primary master to the other  
master data bases, add the sync as peer-to-peer  
(primary-master-to-other-master, another sync  
other-master-to-primary-master, all kicks on demand). Since the  
primary master is 24/7 online, I want to initially update the data  
contents of the other-masters with a 'onetimecopy=1'. Conflict  
management is 'bucardo-source', no delta is set, each dbgroup is  
between primary master and the other-masters, stayalive and kidsalive  
is false since my application controls the kicks, status for all syncs  
is default inactive.
Sometimes a onetimecopy is carried out, sometimes not and the  
onetimecopy-flag in the sync table is still 1 after sync.
My application controls the kicks by sending the command sequence via  
ssh 'bucardo update sync SYNCNAME status=active onetimecopy=1; sleep  
10; bucardo activate SYNCNAME; sleep 10; bucardo validate SYNCNAME;  
sleep 10; bucardo kick SYNCNAME 1200; bucardo deactivate SYNCNAME;  
bucardo update sync SYNCNAME status=inactive; exit
During the app-initiated sync the primary-master and the  
'master-partner' are permantently online, after the sync the  
other-master is offline.

In the verbosed bucardo log I could not find a hint why onetimecopy is  
not carried out (instead a kind of delta sync is made).
Any ideas about that?
Cheers.
