Ah mm, no, but I did move it from /etc to ~/user, and that had no effect.
rsync wants rather exclusive perms, but maybe my setting it via chown to 
the user, and chmod 0600 is too tight?  I started out with it owned by 
root:root, and I've setup a root password, exactly as its setup on 2 other 
machines, and that gave the exact same failure.  The rsync client has been 
configured, and until I removed it and reinstalled it, it was running, and 
is now also.  Apparently the removal & reinstall didn't nuke the configs I 
had setup, modeled on what works on the other 2 machines.

Thanks.  I'll check back later tomorrow, I have a dinner to attend to this 
evening, and a graveyard shift to do at the tv transmitter.
