Brent,

I believe what you really want is:
rsync -a -e 'ssh -p 8080' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/spare2/wayne_mail..tar.gz 
wayne_mail..tar.gz

The port number specification in the src/dest arguments is only if you are
using rsync-over-tcp protocol. If using SSH (or other remote-shell protocol),
you need to specify it in the argument to -e.
