Hi, I finally got rsync to work, it seems it didn't like being located in /usr/local/bin/rsync, so I created a symbolic link from there to /usr/bin/rsync and all worked fine!
My next problem is that it is prompting me to enter a password each time I run it. I really want rsync to run automatically via a cronjob. Is there a way to send the password to rsync so I don't have to enter it manually every time?????
