First - nice subject. On the rsync list, it's good to tell everybody that your question concerns rsync. I mean, we'd never guess that, and just that subject alone gives an indication of the nature of the problem, right?
Anyway, the rsync process you're invoking is not making contact with the rsync on domain.ltd. Either you're not successfully establishing a shell connection, or the one you establish isn't finding the rsync binary on the remote. First, "rsync -vvv [EMAIL PROTECTED]:". That'll give you something like this if your transport is rsh. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/cnwt99>rsync -vvv [EMAIL PROTECTED]: opening connection using rsh -l ync domain.ltd rsync --server --sender -vvvr .

It'll be like the above, or Try a connection using the shell command up to the "rsync". If that works, try that same command, ending in "which rsync". If it's not finding the remote rsync, find it, and add it with "--rsync-path=" to your rsync commandline, or symlink it in somewhere on the stripped-down remote shell $PATH. Good luck.
