There's something weird about these error messages.

Why is the shell throwing the errors? These are not the messages I'd expect if 
rsync and bzip2 were trying to access inaccessible directories.


    % sh -c '/usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c ~larryv/foobar.tbz2'
    bzip2: Can't open input file /Users/larryv/foobar.tbz2: No such file or 
directory.
    %

Note that the error comes from the executable, not the shell, and the entire 
pipeline is not printed out. (The bit after "Command failed:" is expected.) The 
OP's error messages look like overzelaous quoting:

    % sh -c '"/usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c ~larryv/foobar.tbz2"'
    sh: /usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c ~larryv/foobar.tbz2: No such file or directory
    %

But I have no idea how that could be happening.
