Hi, I have two ReadyNas that are successfully doing backups (between two sites) via rsync. There is one directory that we do not wish to copy over because it contains large, temporary media files (...

This thread contains the closest to a solution that I've found. but unfortunately, now that the /frontview/bin/backup file is compiled, I'm unable to take advantage of the advice here. I was wondering if anyone has alternative methods for passing parameters along to the rsync backups?
My specific error is this.
From what I've read, this error comes from the UID being too large for rsync to handle. The large UID I believe comes from having user shares auto-created from Active Directory users. There are recommendations to pass the "--fake-super" parameter on to the rsync command to avoid this error. I need to avoid the error so that my backup status can come back as successful.
I'm running RAIDiator 4.2.19 on a ReadyNAS 2100.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
UPDATE: By the way, the remote/source of the backup job is a Windows 2003 box running cygwin.
Thank You
