If you want the list locally, then change the above to:

ssh remoteuser at martins 'find server*/adhoc/remotedir* -mtime -1 -print' > locallist

change the above to:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --files-from=locallist remoteuser at martins:/home/remoteuser /local/dir/


I'm not quite sure what you meant with your other reply...

PS: please reply under the relevant bits, it gives some context to what
