[Gllug] rsync problems

[Dimitrios Siganos]

Hi Sharon,

What do the following commands return?

* mount
* ls -l /media

I imagine the problems you are facing have to do with the way the USB 
stick is mounted. You need to setup a deterministic way of mounting the 
USB disk. The automatic mounting that comes with Gnome will probably not 
work for this task.
