For some reason it failed recently with "return codes 32512" and I
couldn't find this num. as a valid rsync exit code

During the time that the error was going on I tried the rsync

I guess you have fallen into the common pitfall that cron does not
read bash ini files and does not set the $PATH variable. If you want
your scripts to be run by cron you must make them independent of $PATH
and other variables set by .bashrc etc.

One can also specify environment variables at the top of the crontab.
This overcomes the issue of cron jobs not reading /etc/profile and
other start-up scripts that are processed by a normal login shell.  For
example, here is my personal crontab:

Ah, yes of course, It was a while ago I played with cron.
"man 5 crontab" is also a good command to know, or
"info crontab" if you prefer those modern inventions.
