Gosh, from that error message, it looks like the host
tibtst6.cos.agilent.com is refusing your connection.

This isn't surprising, though, since rdist usually runs
over rsh, and rsh is obsolete. I would consider using rsync
instead, since it can run over an ssh connection.

If you can't do that, make sure that your rdist connection
can use an ssh connection and isn't trying to use rsh.

Can you rsh onto the host without supplying a password. First check
that to determine if there is a connectivity issue. If you can rsh
onto the box without supplying the password and you still get this
error then and only then is it an rdist issue.
