None running at the moment - it should only run one at once and they should be
quick.  I'll check the script anyway and try to keep an eye on it.

If you spot it again, send me an email, or grab 'ps' output or something.

But all I can think of is that it is rsyncing onto a fs mounted over NFS and
occasionally NFS causes trouble - maybe the process backs up due to that.
