Humm, this doesn't make sense: the \ are only managed by the shell and
suppressed by it *before* the call to rsync.

I bet you previously add a space after the previous \ (juste before
the newline).

Looks correct if /var/cache/awstats is the last argument given to
rsync.

The shell has tried to execute that as a separate command.
