Please refer to "man rsync" and consider what you are doing. Don't just
blindly run commands other people send you ! I could be telling you to
do something which will harm your system (even though of course I say I
am not :)

- -e says the parameter that follows is what will be executed on the
remote machine after we have connected there to make rsync talk to us.

You have "ssh -p 22" as the first filename which should be copied, along
with the remote myserver.domain.net:/root/backups, to the destination of
/var/tmp/pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual

This is very unlikely to be what you want. Try this (exactly, after you
have understood why you are doing it):

rsync -avz -e "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/backuppc-rsync"
backuppc AT myserver.domain DOT net:/root/backups 
/var/tmp/pwrnctmpback/rsyncmanual

Adam
