Look again. it's not finding rsync on machine2. He's doing remote-to-remote, though he's on machine2 already. I've already replied to him in detail, concerning paths and rsync syntax/behaviour. If he fixes the path on machine2 or gives the --rsync-path= directive, then, he'll rsync to a local directory named "machine3:", which probably doesn't exist, and certainly isn't what he wants.
