I apologize for intruding.  I've been following this conversation and now I'm 
confused.  Is the issue the use of keys to lock down access, or the use of 
rsync in general? 

Have you tried to run the rsync without the use of keys? 

Are you aware that rsync can be resumed?

If you haven't checked, the perms on the .ssh directory should be 700.

wes,

   When rsync failed to connect Sunday I used 'ssh -vv ...' to test since 
adding the verbose switches to rsync did not provide useful output.

   Yesterday I tried rsync again; same failure.

   Today I will re-generate the public/private key pair (same pass phrase), 
copy the new public key to the old desktop's authorized_keys and expect that to 
resolve the issue.

   Perhaps there is no way to determine why rsync failed after spending a lot 
of time moving 89G across the cat5 cable. If a new key pair works perhaps it 
will keep working.

Regards,

Rich
