Joe:  I'm guessing you're doing the external transport thing:  'rsync 
-options /path/to/whatever remotehost:/path/to/where/you/want/whatever'
In that form, it relies on host-based authentication... rsh, rlogin sort 
of thing.  if you can't 'rsh remotehost rsync --version', you can't use 
the rsh external transport.
If you have ssh available, you can add '-e ssh', which will have rsync use 
ssh instead of rsh.
If you've set up a rsyncd server, make sure you're using the '::' syntax, 
else your client will try rsh again.

man rsh
man hosts.equiv
man rhosts (may be same as hosts.equiv... ymmv)
man ssh
man rsyncd.conf
man rsync?

I'm just starting out with rsync and having the following problems:  I'm
getting autorization errors when I try to fire up a transfer between two
e250's.  I would like to basically mirror users between two systems.

I've used the basic format that has been stipulated in the doc's still
having problems
