rsyc log weirdness

[George Toft]

Good thought!  However, both systems were built the same, and have the 
same error messages depending on who is rsync'ing to whom.

More details:
These two servers are in a failover, high-availability cluster, and I 
use rsync to keep the file systems in sync.  rsync syncs from the active 
node to the passive node.  (I would have preferred GFS or SAN, but that 
was outside of the budget.)


So - whether it's server1 sync'ing to server2, or the other way around, 
the log entries look the same.
