I've found that the version of rsync that Apple bundles is pretty
squirrelly -- there are some posts in the archive about this.  But
generally speaking, there were some BackupPC-default rsync arguments that
didn't play nicely with Apple's rsync.

I don't recall having issues with BPCv3, but with v4 --protect-args,
--one-file-system, and --copy-links were problematic.  Some of that are our
client configurations, though.
