I am running the following command to execute this from the client:

rsync --verbose --verbose --progress  --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/rsh  
--stats root@fargo:/backup/20050921/* /data/backup/today/

I finally got it working by adding the -h flag to the line 
shell   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.rshd -Lh

in inetd.conf

Is there a faster way then this to copy the files over?

Thanks,
Sean
