how can i "emerge sync" so the rsync start and i can leave the client, cause after that it logouts of a root shell

why not just "emerge --sync; exit" ? that will log out immediately after emerge --sync is done. however, anyone can still walk on over, press ctrl C, and interrupt the shell 'script'.

instead you could always have it as a cronjob
