This question was asked on this forum in 2012. The answer was to switch from 
sudo to ssh. I have already tried that. No help. This problem only appears when 
using rsync. Windows machines over samba do get backed up.  This is a new 
Debian Testing PC running AMD64. The client pc can be turned off, but the 
server ignores that fact, and begins reading the client config file for 
directories to back up. As long as there is a match with a server directory,  
the server backs itself up into the client's repository. The back up aborts 
when there is a client directory that doesn't exist on the server. I call this 
Cowbird behavior. To save you a Google, a Cowbird is a bird that lays its eggs 
in somebody else's nest. Have already posted to Debian forum with no success.
