 More notes:

I tried to do a restore test operation, both the tar and zip download options 
gave me zero-byte files on the client with this in the logs:

2013-09-28 09:05:55 User stevep downloaded tar archive for backuppc, backup 
1487; files were: /
2013-09-28 09:08:30 User stevep downloaded zip archive for backuppc, backup 
1489; files were: /

A direct restore seems to have worked fine.

I upgraded rsync on Mac OS X system to v3.0+ and that seems to resolve the 
issue after putting back the --protect-args rsync parameter.  Yay!  :)  WHY is 
Apple still sending out rsync version 2.6.9!  Grrr....  :)

Still found client configurations that had an old format rsync command line in 
the config file that did not get converted, and seemed to be causing problems: 
??

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root -c arcfour $host nice -n 10 
$rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root -c arcfour $host nice -n 
10 $rsyncPath $argList+';

I touched those up and backups seem to be running, will watch for completion.

So, basically, what I think I found so far:

  * For Mac OS X it now seems to require rsync v3.0+
  * I grepped the config files looking for RsyncClientCmd and removed them all
  * Make sure all rsync hosts have a good config if not using master 
config/defaults

Still not sure on the Windows host and the apparent "freeze", but I will have 
to wait for the server to settle down a little bit from the other jobs it is 
running right now to test that again.
