Thanks Holger, Craig, I checked, and I was running the old version of File::RsyncP so I removed the debian version (0.52) and installed from CPAN version 0.68. Also my versions of rsync on both machines is the same 2.6.9.
I think it must be a something to do with the SSH link I am using though. The rsync is done over SSH to non-root user rbackup, which then runs "sudo /usr/bin/rsync" to get root permissions on the client. However if I change it to run as root on the client, with no SSH command restriction, then the restore works just fine. So it's an SSH sudo command restriction problem. I think I will try out using rsyncd on the client instead. Thanks -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
