Hi, Bernard. Many thanks for pointing out the precise command that's being executed -- that's a most helpful insight. I actually contrived a workaround for my problem several days ago, but I'm keen to know what was causing it.
>> ------------- node02 mounted_filesystems RETRIEVAL PROGRESS ------------- >> @ERROR: access denied to root from node01 (192.168.44.1) > > Perhaps you have permission problems grabbing files from node02's > /root from node01? I thought of that, but it appears to have not been the problem -- I could rsync (and scp) files located in node02:/root from node01:/root with no trouble. >> # FILE=/etc/systemimager/mounted_filesystems >> # rsync --log-file=test_rsync_log.txt r...@node02:$FILE . > > This isn't what si_getimage is doing though: > > http://trac.systemimager.org/browser/trunk/sbin/si_getimage > > 341 $command = "rsync -av --numeric-ids"; > 342 if ($log) { $command = $command . qq( --log-format="$log"); } > 343 if ($ssh_user) { $command = $command .

When I pieced together the command from the code you quoted and ran it -- no problem, it ran successfully. Encouraged, I decided to try si_getimage again... and it worked, too, even though it "shouldn't" have. So something I did between now and the last time I attempted to run si_getimage magically cured the problem, a situation both pleasantly surprising and thorougly maddening. I genuinely am not sure what it might have been since I didn't do anything "major" other than a few reboots. Ah, well... For now I'll just enjoy the fact that it's working. If I make a further discovery later I'll post it here.
