Wayne,
Thanks for your advice. It works OK now.

This is a shell-programming error -- this tells rsync to copy 3 local
files to a dir name that is the last word in $sufx, which happens
to be
a file named friday.log. Thus, rsync complains that two local
files in
the current directory don't exist, one with a weird name (based on
your
$rSvr:$rDir$tDay expansion) and one with the name ">>" (which was
word-split out of $sufx).
You need to remove all shell-special characters from inside variables
because the shell does not evaluate them inside a variable expansion
(not without using "eval" to tell the shell to re-parse the resulting
string). Explicitly, you'd need to dump the ">>" from $sufx and
remove
the double-quotes from inside $attr. Then, change your rsync-
executing
line to this:
rsync $attr $bDir $rSvr:$rDir$tDay >> $sufx
