Here's my script for making sure the sync happens:
until $RSYNC -v -aruogt --delete --exclude Administration
127.0.0.1::cardinal /net/data/Cardinal ; do : ; done > /var/log/sync
Last night it transfered some 50 MB with one failure and reconnect.
I use ssh to port forward; thus the connection to localhost.
