Um, lets see - something like this should do it:

contab entry:

<date selection> do_the_rsync

script do_the_rsync:

#!/bin/csh # or choose your favourite shell here, I'm being lazy with output control...

rsync (your favourite options here) |& egrep -v "^send_files failed to open .*: No such file or directory"

--- end of script----

Or whatever modifications you want (disclaimer - the above script has NOT been tested and may indeed
throw away ALL error messages (doubtful, but possible ;-)
