[I am trying to answer everybody who sent in their suggestions] (to Wayne: the scripts runs OK outside cron; those messages are just a couple of files which do not exist right now but may in the future: those lines have never prevented the script from working).
(to Bernard Voelker: I did not try without the '~' but the script used to work in previous rsync versions, so ... but I shall try when I can, just in case). (to Henri Shustak: I have not. I am uncomfortable with launchd, but I am getting the feeling that I shall have to start using it despite my unwillingness). Thank you for your help. Right now I am unable to test it (there are a couple of troubles with my connection etc.) but I shall look at all your suggestions. In any case, it was working perfectly well until two (maybe three) weeks ago, when I reckon my ISP (hostmonster.com) changed their rsync version. I then put the problem to the use of different versions (they installed 3.0.9 and I had 3.0.6 running, but it still happens -which is the bug report I submitted, both running 3.0.9). I am "happy" having to run the script myself (outside cron), and shall try to look at the source code (and even run rsync in debug mode, or whatever). I shall keep you posted. And thanks a lot for your help. Pedro.
