FreeBSD Rsyncing

[Jason King]

Wayne, thanks for the response. I had already modified the rsync.conf 
file with a uid and gid of backup. I can't use root because you can't 
ssh directly to FreeBSD as root, you have to su to it. I don't know what 
else to try, unless there is a way to use su in rsync. I setup backup as 
a user and put that username in the group that has ownership and read 
permissions of the folder I'm trying to rsync, and still I'm getting the 
permissions error.

Any other ideas?
