rsync failing with return code 13

The cron supplied with the NSLU2 doesn't support running rsync (via
rsnapshot & perl) directly; if I add a bash layer in then I don't get
error 13s any more. For those with NSLU2's who are interested see:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/EnableLoggingInCron

It's a local copy so the daemon log isn't showing anything other than:
  2005/01/23 11:43:53 [606] rsyncd version 2.6.3 starting, listening on
port 873
 
I've asked the rsnapshot team how to turn on more diagnostics; it's not
capturing the output of -vvv anywhere.

Thanks

Paul

The error code is only the general category of the error.  The important
bit is the error message that preceeds it.  If there is none, you're
probably using an older rsync daemon that omits the error message from
the client's output, so consult the daemon's log file for the error.
