Summary: Mention OS X "Ignore permissions" in --link-dest docs

Hi,
I got bitten by this:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-August/013394.html
Now, obviously that's just my bad luck. Spent a while fruitlessly Googling -
it's easy to find a couple of pages on this, but only after you know what the
problem is; the symptoms alone make for less specific search terms. Then spent
another while building various extra debug lines into the source to finally
work out what was going on. I suspect a percentage of rsync users might get
bitten too and would have no idea how to debug it (or would know how but
wouldn't try).
How about a sentence something like this within the docs for -g and/or -o?
Note: on Mac OS X removable volumes the option "Ignore permissions on this
volume" can interfere with uid/gid comparisons, potentially causing false
mismatches.
Cheers,
Zak
