Looking at your bash script, I wonder if you are running into a similar
problem that I ran into last week. I was trying to run an ldbsearch in
a script, but it wouldn't work, though the expanded command ran in a
terminal did. I traced it down to something similar to what you are
doing, you are setting '$ROPT' to '-XAavz --delete-after'. In my case
bash seemed to treating this as one component instead of two, try
making the command this:

rsync -XAavz --delete-after --password-file=$PWDFILE
 rsync://sysvol-replication@10.1.1.2/SysVol/ $SVOLPATH
