Those leads all tend to say that I should be logged in as root to use 
(g)rsync. Well as my main machine runs Ubuntu I don't see how that is 
possible. So I pop up a console and type sudo grsync. It then asks me 
for my password as usual and after I've set the parameters and get it 
going I get all the failures.

How do I run grsync as root in Ubuntu. It isn't possible is it?
