[one-users] Replacing scp with rsync problems

[Vladimir Vuksan]

We have a need to quickly deploy and destroy boxes in our environment. 
It's usually the same image. Therefore I have figured out that instead of 
using scp (takes about 3-4 minutes) I could use rsync to rsync the image 
to a directory that doesn't get deleted ie. /opt/cloud/rsync then copy it 
to destination. I got that piece of the process working however when the 
machine boots up I get an error that VM creation failed because "monitor 
socket did not show up"

This is a more detailed log.

If I look at deployment.0 it looks legit

If I now type virsh create deployment.0 machine will start up correctly. 
Md5sum of disk.0 image is correct.

This is the change I made to tm_clone.sh. I even try just replacing SCP 
with a shell script that does the same with same effect

$ diff tm_clone.sh tm_clone.sh.orig
36,37d35
< RSYNC_DIR="/opt/cloud/rsync"
< IMAGE_FILENAME=${SRC_PATH##*/}
54,57c52,53
<     log "Rsyncing $SRC to /opt/cloud/rsync"
<     exec_and_log "/usr/bin/rsync -a $SRC_PATH $DST_HOST:$RSYNC_DIR/"
<     log "Copying "
<     exec_and_log "$SSH $DST_HOST cp -a $RSYNC_DIR/$IMAGE_FILENAME 
$DST_PATH"
---
>     log "Cloning $SRC"
>     exec_and_log "$SCP $SRC $DST"


This makes very little sense. Any clues ?
