Recovery start

Hi again:

I have the following error when trying to start a cluster in recovery mode:

[postgres@ldapserver data]$ postmaster -R -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
Start in recovery mode!
Please wait until a data synchronization finishes from Master DB...
1st recovery step of [global] directory...rsync: link_stat 
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/global" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(702)
NG
PGR_Recovery_Main() failed with cold recovery

What could it be?

Regards,
