If you want to back up special Mac attributes, you need either Apple's
customized version of rsync (which will save the attributes to ._*
AppleDouble files on the destination) or a very new version of rsync
with extended attribute support (which will save the attributes to
Linux extended attributes on the destination). Wayne, please correct

and characters did not sync.
If special characters in filenames did not sync due to a difference in
character sets, you might try iconv.diff, an experimental patch that
adds support to rsync for converting filenames between character sets.
It is available here:

When trying another Rsync with the Novell SAN volume mounted on the Mac
server, it gives different errors, stating file name too long or protocol
incompatibility.
I have no idea what is going on here without seeing the actual error messages.
Good luck!
