nice writeup, just my 2 cents: consider adding a lockfile if the script
is used automatically in a crontab ;)

...
# try to create the lock and check the outcome
LOCKFILE=/var/run/rsync-home.lock
lockfile -r 0 ${LOCKFILE} 1>/dev/null 2>&1
status=$?

if [ ${status} -ne 0 ] ;then
        echo "Another instance already running. Aborting."
        exit 1
fi
trap "rm ${LOCKFILE}" EXIT

# body of the script here
...

other examples are also available in the centos-mirror mailing list archives.

Cheers,

Tru
