Nope. The destination in your script was "$DHOST:$FSi" $FSi is a variable named FSi which does not exist, so a null string was used, leaving your destination as "backenp650:" And that would indeed be using the home directory on the destination.
Not bad rsync - bad you! ;-)
I would suggest always using --dry-run when debugging scripts like this and then remove it when it looks like things will work as you intended. -- John Van Essen Univ of MN Alumnus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
