rsync error in creating 810 development system

[klanmce]

I am on the step of importing external files, actual script seen in the quote

root@linuxmce-desktop:/usr/local/lmce-build# prepare-scripts/import-external-files.sh

As you can see, I am getting an error where rsynce is failing to connect to the link.

I can ping the, the link in question rsync.linuxmce.org

Any thoughts, I am using the following wiki -> http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810

Also I noticed the following in the script

rsync_skin_host="10.0.2.3"
rsync_media_host="10.0.2.3"

Just wondering if this was my issue.

Ok the value for the following below does not matter, it is changed by builder.conf

rsync_skin_host="10.0.2.3"
rsync_media_host="10.0.2.3"

I have moved the system into the dmz for testing on my dsl modem, in an effort to be sure nothing on my side was blocking, no luck. I added --verbose and --progress to the options of rsync, but did not get much additional information other than the port being used, see below:

opening tcp connection to rsync.linuxmce.org port 873
