Thanks... turned out to be an echo of $HOME in .bashrc from sometime
back when I couldn't get HOME set correctly.

But there is also a `last login' message.... that apparently doesn't
cause any problems... since rsync works now.  I see the `last login'
message if I do a straight ssh harry at harvey

How does that message skate by but my echo of $HOME causes failure.
Is the last login in stderr maybe?
