Did you have rsync installed on the remote machine?
My understanding was that by default, openrsync expects "rsync" to be
installed on the destination machine. Probably "rsync" can just be a
symlink to openrsync; I'm not sure.
It would be nice if the openrsync man page described how things are
expected to work. Something like the following (I don't know if it's
correct):
By default, openrsync expects the command "rsync" to be available
on the remote machine. You can override it to use openrsync with
--rsync-path=/usr/bin/openrsync. It is also sufficient to make
rsync an alias for openrsync on the remote machine.
