unless I'm completely mistaken, it should be '$argList' without the '+' in
both RsyncClientCmd and RsyncClientRestoreCmd as sudo preserves its argument
boundaries (i.e. does not split arguments) and does not remove quoting. If
'$rsyncPath $argList+' works, that is probably not your current problem though
(but it might cause problems in the future, if at some point argList gets to
contain something that is actually quoted).

That sounds a bit as if sudo were adding some output, though in that case I'd
expect a 'Fatal error (bad version)'. Maybe you could give some more details
from your error log such as the exact command being run? Actually, it's
almost always a good idea to quote not only error messages but also some
context, i.e. what happens immediately preceeding the error.
Hope that helps.

Holger
