Easy now.

Well the starting point is -u option for rsync. Thank you for your
info about SVN/SSH (I am not a regular SVN user). 

Visible is just plain old NAT'ting and/or blocking of 22. I wonder how
the network folks made it, but one of the systems can not see an open
port on a public accessible server and gets the impression that the
server refuses connection.

journalistik:~# ssh -p 3389 xxxx.dk
ssh: connect to host xxxx.dk port 3389: Connection refused

I hope this can make you a little more happy and confident that not
all stupid questions are bullshit.
