Thanks Kenny, I tried this out but unfortunatly still with no success. I have my doubts whether this is a cross-platform issue. The reason why I say this is because if I use rsync over ssh:
rsync -e ssh -avz gandalf::home_dirs/ . Then the mirroring works correctly, when not running rsync over ssh then rsync freezes or basicaly slows down to the point that is mise well of frozen ( less then 5k a second on a Local LAN ). The reason why I dont wont to use rsync over ssh is I do not wish to have an additional account for rsync on the rsync server, I would prefer to use the rsync user/password authentication method where a valid user account on the server is not required.
