What is the exact error message?

I wasn't aware of grsync, but I note that it currently doesn't support
all of rsync's features. That may or may not be a clue.

I also don't understand why you used both a sync tool and the Evo
backup/restore. If you synced the entire home directory, using
Backup/Restore is redundant.
