Rsync is showing that none of the source files have counterparts on the destination. That most likely indicates that your source and destination arguments do not match up correctly. > ~/rsync-new-executable --dry-run --checksum --recursive > --ignore-times --itemize-changes --xattrs -R --exclude-from > ~/backup_excludes.txt $* Unfortunately, this doesn't show the actual source and destination arguments. But assuming they were "/Users/pen /Users/pen", then rsync would copy /Users/pen to /Users/pen/Users/pen according to the -R option. You probably want to remove -R and use a trailing slash on the source path. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
