        1) rsync is a port.
        2) by default, ports install executables to /usr/local/bin
        3) by default, "do_daily_run" will inherit its environment -
                including PATH - from crontab(5) (system or per-user).
        4) by default, the crontab PATH does not include
                /usr/local/bin.  (There is a reason for this.)

        Recommended solution: provide the full path to rsync.
