Yes, you are right, it appears to work as root only. See below:
# /usr/local/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -av temp
bbankmain:/usr
/bank/opmain
building file list ... done
temp/
temp/rsynctest.txt
temp/
wrote 447045 bytes read 36 bytes 298054.00 bytes/sec
total size is 446871 speedup is 1.00
I got it to work with sudo as follows:
bbankbz{opbz}/home/bank/opbz>
sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -av temp
bbankmain:/usr/bank/opmain
Password:
building file list ... done
temp/
temp/rsynctest.txt
temp/
wrote 447045 bytes read 36 bytes 298054.00 bytes/sec
total size is 446871 speedup is 1.00
Thanks,
