My thanks to all who have been such a great help

I am now able to connect to the remote server as the backuppc user and transfer 
files using the format  
rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /workstation/dir/ 

so  rsync is now working as it should.

However, when I try to do a full backup of the folder /volume1/WINDATA  on the 
remote server, it fails and Iget the following error in the log:

2010-08-16 21:46:29 full backup started for directory /volume1/WINDATA
2010-08-16 21:46:30 Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
2010-08-16 21:46:35 Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks again
