I couldn't make any sense of it, so I started following all kinds of
"esoteric" suggestions and guesses. I read off some post trying to
help someone out of that kind of error message. The same error message
happened without that --rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" option.
_DST is just an external drive, which I definitely know to be there
connected just fine physically and logically.
