Okay, I exported the updated path to include "/usr/local/bin". Still not
working though. My script is in /usr/local/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily.
Since I'm referencing the absolute path in /etc/crontab like this:
35 13 * * * root /usr/local
/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily
I don't have to export /usr/local/Backup/scripts, right?
root@server# export
PATH="/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"

Merely adding it as an assignment is not enough for child
processes of the cron script to 'see' the value. Make sure
you also 'export' the new PATH:
PATH='...'
export PATH
Then the rsync process will use the new PATH.
