It is perfect;y acceptable and definitely ‘cool’. This gives me stats on each
file, which is what I want.

That does not explain why bash is perfectly happy with the command line if it
is a locally mounted disk (the same disk, in fact). Despite the error, this is
not a bash problem.

Find’s {} is escaped, just doesn’t seem to be escaped properly via ssh/rysnc.
As I said, this works:
find . -type f -atime -1 -exec rsync -aP {} /Drive5/{}
This fails if there are ()’s in the file name.
find . -type f -atime -1 -exec rsync -aP {} 10.0.0.11:/Drive5/{}

Hmm. Maybe. I’ll play with that.
