You have a few alternatives, which involve matching up the user that rsync[d] is running as to the permissions on the directories you'd like to synchronize. The Local System account usually doesn't have access to domain directories, but they can be granted; alternatively, you can run rsyncd as a domain user. > I compared the directories and the properties and they all look the same > (well, my user directory was slightly different, but expected).

To clarify: the rsyncd user -- the one in rsyncd.conf -- does not actually relate to anything in any way except allowing connections to rsync. It's not a cygwin, Windows, or domain user. Although it can be named the same, you can easily just use "hoobydooby" and everything will work the same. > Being my work machine, my ID is from the domain and while I they give us > admin privileges, there are still some things we can't do, like add a > local user.

As above, you need to run rsyncd as the domain user; the user in rsyncd.conf is inherently meaningless. > Also, changed the log level on the client and the log looks exactly the > same.
