       All these functions are not idempotent.

sync($source,$dest,$opts)
       This  function  executes  the rsync command onthelocalmachine (where rex is being run) to sync $source
       and $dest with a remote. The "rsync" command is invoked with the "--recursive --links --verbose  --stats"
       options set.

       If  you  want  to use sudo, you need to disable requiretty option for this user. You can do this with the
       following snippet in your sudoers configuration.

        Defaults:username !requiretty
