Correct Rob, nc is indeed at /usr/bin I added this to path => and
it's now working. I guess the problem is that the ifonly doesn't flag
an error. I was running it in debug mode on the client.
Initially I just replaced /bin with /usr/bin but of course I did get
an error due to it not being able to find tar. [ "/bin", "/usr/bin" ]
solved it.
Thanks for picking up on it.
