OK experts, please help me with this .bashrc related error...

[AboveNBeyond]

OK I am at a loss... What's happening is with the below ~/.bashrc in place I can't rsync... I get the error about "is your shell clean" If I remove the ~/.bashrc I can rsync fine...

I put below a copy of my /etc/profile too incase the two are conflicting??

Can someone please look at it and tell me if they see something that might cause that?
