rsync not working when logged in as root

Hi,
I have a strange (at least for me) issue with the behavior of rsync.
If I make a copy of a directory (on the localhost) with rsync everything
works fine as long as I am logged in as a user. If I try to do the same as
root, rsync is not working at all. No error message nothing. Only in the
process list I can see an "sleep 1800".
Could you help me?

Thanks & Gr. Norbert
