Thank you Rob!
Actually I didn't want to continue an unfinished sequence, but to start a new one. Erasing the 3 files I was creating for the process, didn't work either (in fact the script already was overwriting them, so it was just to not leave anything untried that I tried it).
I managed just a few minuts ago to solve the problem. Instead of writing the numbers of divisioni to the sync.file as written before, I wrote them in the normal way : -X 8 -Y 8 .
This solved my problem but leaves opened the question on why it didn't work in the other way (as it was copied right from the manual).

.You have to use the -R option instead of the -F option on a restart, I believe.

.The /-R/ option may be used instead of /-F/ if some of the pieces were not

Hi Lucio,
It's difficult to say why this didn't work as you originally had it, but it's generally a good idea to insert a pause of a couple of seconds between each invocation of rpiece, to give it time to lock its files. This isn't reliable on all systems, otherwise.

Thank you Greg!
I imagined it was a wait-period problem, so I tried giving manually some " rpiece @args " invocation after minutes, and it didn't work as well. In addiction, setting -X and -Y directly in args and not in the sync file does work correctly (I've used it many times) withouth any wait-period.

I don't know what else to say, except that it should work. I checked the code, and there's nothing I can see wrong, and it hasn't changed for aeons. There are ongoing issues with the lock manager under Linux, and this may be the cause. As long as you got it to work, I wouldn't worry too much about it. There's not much I can do on my end.
