If you insist on every 5 seconds:
--------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while :
do rsync [opts] SRC DEST
sleep 5
done

>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Every 5 seconds seems a bit excessive in terms of CPU utilization and
network bandwidth. Are you trying to ensure close-to-real-time
synchronization by doing this? If you have the ability to run processes on
the source machine, perhaps running a process that monitors the source
directory for changes and then runs rsync when changes occur would reduce
overhead?
Others with more experience may have better ideas.
