Well fellas.....I tried a few more options from the links you provided, but still had no luck running grsync. It appears the GUI for rsync is fussy about starting from cron or scheduler.
So, I decided to grab the rsync command that grsync was sending and dropped that direct into scheduler......that seemed to work fine. Then I copied that command into my backup.sh script and ran the shell script from scheduler.....that worked fine too. I even setup rsync to send a log file of the backup, so I can see that everything went fine.
Thanks for the help......

Hi,
You need to set EDITOR environment variable to some text editor.
I use nano here, you may use emacs, vi or anything really
For example:
shell > export EDITOR=nano
shell > crontab -e
## Insert or append a line like:
# min hour day_of_the_month month day_of_the_week command
# So 5 past midnight of every Tuesday do...
5 0 * * 2 tar -cf ~/back.tar ~/Documents && mv ~/back.tar /where-ever 2>&1 > /dev/null
# Save settings = CTRL+O
# exit = CTRL+X
