I have been using psync for ages, but have set up aliases, so I am a bit
rusty. To make matters worse, I am not at home so I can't check the proper
syntax...

I was under the impression that you use
psync [options] source_dir dest_dir
just like cp.

So, are you seeing your /Applications directory copied into /Library ?

I will check when I get home and see how I do basically the same thing.

Anything in the log file?
