ERROR: /usr/local/bin/rsync returned 127
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the most important part of the output.

Because rsync returned an error status (other than 23 or 24 which indicate
partial transfer), and presumably you have "link_dest 1" in your rsnapshot
config, than meant rsnapshot would make a plan to rollback that backup,
once it has finished dealing with any other backups.

The "skipped due to rollback plan" warnings for the other backups are
because all the backups have the same destination ("remotehostbackup/").

If you stop the "/usr/local/bin/rsync returned 127" error, then all
the rollback issues will disappear, and you should get backups.

According to my man pages, 127 is not an exit status that rsync will
set itself. But the shell will return 127 if the command is not found.

The most likely cause of this would be that your "cmd_rsync" path
(currently set to /usr/local/bin/rsync) does not match where rsync
is installed on your machine. Or your rsync binary has been removed.
