I have a very similar problem to Kanti so I'm going to finish where he left 
off. The command is run pointing to a dhcp client. The nmblookup works but 
the rsync command above fails because the IP address isn't passed from the 
lookup to ssh. Do I then tell my server to do a nmblookup when searching for 
the host name?
