Hi,
I've fixed it.
I found that I had "mesg y" on /etc/bashrc
As soon as I comented it the backups start working.
After that I've placed this on the .bashrc file:
[[ -t 0 ]] && mesg y
Now everything is working fine.
Thanks to all for your help.

I think Craig's on to something, Paulo. I'm not a Csh guy, but to
generalize his Csh example to other shells (bash/korn/etc) this is what
I do (in .profile, .shrc, whatever files your login uses):
#
# if stdin (channel 0) is a ttty, then do things to tty...
#
if [[ -t 0 ]]
then
stty-stuff
tput-stuff
resize (X11 if you have it)
any-job-control stuff
fi
In this way, shell scripts don't try to resize the window to a new
dimension when there's no (X11/*term) window, stty doesn't try to set
line disciplines, etc.
It makes sense that you're having problems with rsync & not tar, as
rsync is run over ssh in your case. I don't use 'tar' mode, only rsync,
so if you can run ssh over tar that might be an interesting test to see
if you observe the same ill effects.
