If that program is unavailable on the local machine, you get the unhelpful error message `File exists, but cannot be read.' I was only able to figure out what was really wrong by bumping `tramp-verbose' and inspecting the logs. (I append a sample log.) Recipe: Set up two computers, A and B, such that you can `ssh' into your account on B from your account on A. Arrange for A not to have `rsync' installed. Place a test file `test.txt' in your account on B. Then, from A, start up Emacs and set `tramp-verbose' to 6. Then attempt to visit `/rsync:you@B:test.txt' in Emacs. You should observe the error message `File exists, but cannot be read.' in the echo area. You should observe the error message tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-out-of-band (1) # File error: Cannot find copy program: rsync in the *debug tramp/rsync B* buffer, _and nowhere else_; especially, not in *Messages*. `Cannot find copy program: rsync' is a perfectly sensible error message; this bug would be resolved if _that_ were what showed up in the echo area. --- tramp log --- ;; GNU Emacs: 24.3.1 Tramp: 2.2.6-24.3 -*- mode: outline; -*- 14:19:05.252104 tramp-send-command (6) # echo are you awake 14:19:05.267424 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) # are you awake ///b9ac250b8258b97dbbec98c1e1ef1117#$ 14:19:05.267725 tramp-send-command (6) # test -e /home/tbbscraperentry/tbbscraper/scripts/pj-trace-redir.js 2>/dev/null;

I couldn't figure out from the patch whether it would fix the problem, so I had to find time to actually test it, and I've been very busy the past few months. Anyway, with this patch applied I get a nice clear error message in the echo area when rsync isn't available on a remote accessed via /rsync:hostname.
