Ok: You're using an external transport (rsh, unless you've defined RSYNC_RSH as something else(probably ssh)). First thing to check is whether you can rsh to destinationmachine. See what happens if you do "rsh destinationmachine uname -a". Does this report back the information for destinationmachine, or does it give you "Permission denied". If so, get rsh working. From your error, I'm certain this is the problem, as if it were a permission problem on a file or directory, you'd get an error more like this ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tconway@atlas /site/local/share/ToolSync/newsync>rsync newsync.log.2 atlas:/kernel mkstemp .newsync.log.2.GYaiMq failed rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(537) tconway@atlas /site/local/share/ToolSync/newsync> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .
Note: If this is an hpux, SCO, and maybe some other primitive systems, the name "rsh" is reserved for a restricted shell, and they use "remsh" instead as the command. Rsync already knows about this, but you need to do the right command for your test. Investigate /etc/hosts.equiv, /etc/hosts.deny, $HOME/.rhosts, your name resolution, etc..
