Or just make sure that the sending side of the transfer is running rsync as root (e.g. use sudo to run the local rsync too).<br>
<br>Also, a modern rsync would have exited with an error about your invalid two-server syntax, so you may wish to upgrade to something newer.<br></div><br></div>..wayne..<br>
