You're right. In fact, I was wrong. :-P It's really failing on all
non-world readable file/dirs:
find: ./lost+found: Permission denied
find: ./usera: Permission denied
find: ./userb: Permission denied
find: ./userc: Permission denied
And this is after opening up sudo's perms for the remote fb user (see
below).

The fb user on my backup machine can ssh without password to the

Against my better judgement:
flexb ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
I've also tried with:
flexb localhost=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/find, /bin/tar, /bin/dd

Thanks, I'll try banging my head on those.
