Can't help you there, I took a look at the man page for grsynch some time
ago and decided there was too much for my ancient brain to absorb so
I stayed with the mount daemon and remote access to it - seemed to work
OK for me. Now I've only the one kubuntu machine I can't even try it out
for you. I seem to remember a -n option where it tells you what it would
do but doesn't actually do anything. Are you running the sync daemon
as root or as yourself? Has root only got write permission, or no-one at
all? how do you recover your permissions on the SEA_DISK after the
rsync run
