sudo / --link-dest combination problem.

[simon allfrey]

Hi, using the attached script to implement an incremental rotating  
backup of my home directory
works fine if I run it myself, however if it is run as root the -- 
link-dest fails and all files are
recreated rather than linked to. Can someone explain the problem to me?

I'm using rsync version 2.6.5
on
Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0 (OS X Tiger)

Thanks,
  Simon.
