Right, I checked that and everything seems ok.  rsync is
/usr/local/bin/rsync on both boxes.

Also I missed part of the error the first time.  Here are my new findings:

# rsync -auv snapper:/export/home/mmilano/ /export/home/mmilano/
sh: rsync: not found
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

# rsync -auve ssh snapper:/export/home/mmilano/ /export/home/mmilano/
root's password: 
receiving file list ... done

(This one works for a while, then it just hangs.)

Thanks again.

--------- You Said ------------

I'm sorry if I'm the upteenth person to tell you this but 'sh' is
complaining not rsync.  You probably don't have /usr/local/bin[1] in
your $PATH anymore when you change to super-user.  Try 'which rsync' as
a normal user and then again as super user and you should see pretty
clearly where the difference lies.  (NB The 'export PATH=<blah>' bit has
to be done in two separate steps in sh, ie 'PATH=<blah>', export PATH.)

[1] Or wherever rsync is to be found ...
