[Bug 1888685] Re: rsync fails after installing level 3.2.1

[Cliff Carson]

Appears to me is that failure criteria is if the directory being
rsync'ed is off of my home it will fail.  Hard to believe I'm the only
one seeing this.  Again this 20.10 system was functioning normally until
7/18 when 3.2.1 was installed.
