[LUNI] rsync HELP NEEDED.

[Joe Digilio]

Hmm, that is strange that rsync looks like it works.
try this instead
  rsync -vvv --stats --progress file1 192.168.0.14::test-data

But looking at the log output, it seems that rsyncd cannot bind to port 873.
Maybe rsyncd is already running? ("lsof -i :873" will tell you what's listening
on port 873.)
