[Tim Dunphy]

Guys,

This is what worked

[root at uszmpwsld011 ~]# /usr/bin/rsync -v --min-size=1 -rlpgo -O --inplace
/home/compassfeeduser/Get* root at xx.xx.xx:/mnt/bravotv/media/compass | ts
 2>&1 >& debug.txt

[root at uszmpwsld011 ~]# cat debug.txt
May 23 23:44:49 sending incremental file list
May 23 23:44:49
May 23 23:44:49 sent 67 bytes  received 12 bytes  158.00 bytes/sec
May 23 23:44:49 total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
