OK ;-)

This will use rsync's authentication method which is more compatible
with cron.

#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avze ssh \
--include=desired.file --exclude=* \
--password-file=/path/to/rsync/passwd/file \
rsync-user@remote.server.com::module \
/destination/directory/

I appreciate your response though, thanks again,
