Thanks for this, as soon as I changed the filename it found the file no problems.

True. I also had this:

# csync2 -C /etc/csync2.conf -x -d
Config names are limited to [a-z0-9]+. 

which only after reading section 5.7 a few times told me that what it actually
means is:

# csync2 -C myname -x -d

where the config file is named:

/etc/csync2_myname.cfg

I man page should exist for csync2 to make this easier to understand :)
