Thanks a bunch David, I changed my /etc/exports and now she's syncing fine
with sudo.

I am using Arch linux. I have various rsync commands in my crontab, .bashrc,
etc. set to run daily and they go just fine-- is that what we're talking
about? I think by "rsync server" I am taking it to mean another location to
rsync to.


Thanks very much
Bob
