By the time the digest came out I had figured out the issue. But to
followup on loose ends I can recap my findings. First, the client
command variable quoted below found in V3 is deprecated in V4.
Mea culpa. This time I saw the bold text, so this list DOES show bold.
Just not in digests.
"$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backuppc *$host nice -n 19
/usr/bin/sudo* $rsyncPath $argList+';"
so none of that line was executed, but because there are separate
lines defining the ssh command, path and rsync command and path and
host V4 was connecting to the client without the "nice -n 19
/usr/bin/sudo" portion, thus not able to access any of the file data.
Once I realized this I knew it was just a matter of rearranging the
arguments to fit the new format which I succeeded in doing except for
"nice -n 19".
So the issue is the missing sudo, not the call to nice.
Although I hadn't inspected the config to know that nice was being used
in V4. I'd love to see a similar thing for rsyncd on Windows that
reduces I/O priority to reduce the impact on backups done during the
day. I have users who insist on turning their machines off at night so
the only time I can get a backup is while they're using the machine.
I've been using System Explorer to lower the priority on the rsync process.
