Rclone to Amazon Drive on mac with launchd

Help and Support
1

rclone v1.35, just installed on mac (Sierra)

created a shell script with the following command:
/usr/local/bin/rclone --config /Users/xxx/.rclone.conf sync /Users/xxx/ResilioSync CloudDrive:Imac-ResilioSync

When I run shell script logged in as xxx it works fine, also as root.

Want to move to launchd as daemon and run daily, so under /Library/LaunchDaemons, I added:

cat com.xxx.awsbackup.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Label com.xxx.awsbackup

UserName
xxx

ProgramArguments

/Users/xxx/backup/rclone_backup.sh

RunAtLoad

StandardErrorPath
/Users/xxx/backup/rclone_backup.error

StandardOutPath
/Users/xxx/backup/rclone_backup.log

When I launchd load, it starts to run but errors out with the following:

#cat rclone_backup.error
2017/03/04 14:00:23 Failed to create file system for “CloudDrive:Imac-ResilioSync”: failed to get endpoints: Get https://drive.amazonaws.com/drive/v1/account/endpoint: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

side note: I have seen this now and then when running manually on other machines but ‘sudo’ always succeeds.

any tips appreciated!
