ah, you're using a script. And sudo. I should have guessed. I should also
guess what command is actually being executed, but I won't.

Try
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/rsync ${1+"$@"}

It shouldn't. Why are you using the wrapper script? It doesn't seem to do
anything except cause problems ... (and a security risk if it is writeable by
anyone except root).
Please provide the command being executed from the log file if it still
doesn't work.

Ah. Should have read that first.

Yes. 'sudo' doesn't invoke a shell, so you don't need a '+'. It won't make
a difference as long as there is nothing on the command line that needs
escaping.
