Can't Figure out why rsync job stops

[Bryan Sauser]

I checked and everything is owned and run by root on both sides.

Just want to update the Problem Machine's info is actually: 
Linux version 2.4.20-19.8 (bhcompile at stripples.devel.redhat.com) (gcc
version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7))

Are you running both sides as root?  If not, you might check the
permissions on the files it's trying to back up.  I had a similar issue
a couple days ago and that's what it wound up being.  Running again with
root privs on the source side solved my problem.
