as far as rsync goes, all I can say is the autoinstallscript was fine on the source computer and corrupted on the target. there were some directories that shoudn't have been on the source and after I removed them the installation worked. however, I would have thought rsync would have still copied things as is, but this was an OpenSSI environment complete with cdsl's and perhaps there is something funky that confused rsync.

That leads me to say it sounds like a problem with rsync since that's the guy responsible for copying the data, but...rsync is very good about data integrity - i'd probably not start there.
