Because the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script does not have your login
environment. The odds are that the path to one or more of your commands
is missing. If you want to prove this, modify your script to do
something like
echo $PATH >/tmp/path.txt
and reboot. Compare the contents of /tmp/path.txt and "echo $PATH" at
the command line and I'll bet the paths are different.
This is incredibly common for startup scripts and crontab entries. If
you wish to avoid them, ensure you have a "PATH=" command in the top
of your script or specify the full path to each command inside the
script:
/usr/bin/rsync........
NOT
rsync.....
because "/usr/bin" may NOT be in the crontab or initscript's PATH.
