Error msg

[[email posted back to list with servers and paths obfuscated]]

I notice you aren't specifing a username on the remote machine, 
machine.local.  When using SSH transport, I personally always recommend 
specifying the remote user account; for example 
jennlu at machine.local:/export/path/name/ if the remote account you wished 
to use was "jennlu".

You need to make sure that you can successfully issue the command "ssh 
username at remoteserver" in exactly the same form you specify it in your 
rsync command line, and further make sure that you don't need a password 
to access that account.  If you can't ssh to user at remoteserver without a 
password, rsync won't be able to access it (using SSH transport) either 
- so you'll need to either publish keys and get SSH working properly, or 
set up an rsync daemon and use its transport instead.
