The same command under CentOS6 is silent, how do I get the nice summary email abain?

That must have been a very long time ago, as rsync has been silent for as long as I can remember (even back to CentOS 5 and possibly even 4).

Anyway, you want some combination of the -v and --progress switches. Try each separately, and both together, and see which you like best.
