[ale] rsync + ssh + cron

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Thanks for the quick response.  The command line that the script is 
generating (
/usr/bin/rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 2201' /home/nathan/source/ 
nathan at lint-1:/home/nathan/destination --progress --stats --compress 
--delete ) is actually working if I just copy and paste it to a [new] 
command line.  The problem though is that it won't run from the script.
