This worked just fine

This, however, did the same thing that I'm having trouble with. Everything
just hangs. 

Okay, this may lead to a whole other mess, but I'm sure it needs to be
addressed. I attempted to uninstall rsync and reinstall from scratch not too
long ago, and I apparently am missing some important files. I searched the
database regarding uninstalling rsync and followed what I found. I deleted
the three files I was told to delete, and rsync still runs... I installed
rsync using fink if that makes things different? I tried doing a Spotlight
search for "rsync" and basically deleted everything that I saw, and it still
runs. Obviously there are some files that aren't indexed by Spotlight that
are slipping under the radar. I feel like I'm in a big mess now...
