Well ... here is something I noticed - in the debug log, it says it is
processing the request:

"rsync --server -vlogDtpr . /good"

but that option does not even exist ... there is no --server option in the
man page for rsync, and trying to run that manually on the server side
produces an error.

Why am I seeing "rsync --server" in the debug log, when that does not even
exist ?  Is there something different in the usage of rsync on FreeBSD ?

Thanks very much.
