OK....  That tells you that rc.local is being executed.

Right....  Because you have rc.local calling another script!    Please don't do that....

Make your rc.local contain....

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log               # send stderr from rc.local to a log file
exec 1>&2                                     # send stdout to the same log file
set -x                                             # tell sh to display commands before execution
rsync -av    rest of the command.....
