You can't start an rsync daemon and then attempt to do a non-daemon
transfer. Get rid of the "command" setting above and tell rsync to
run
When you say that a local copy hangs, I'm assuming you're not using the
host: name for the local machine or "localhost:", right?
If HAVE_SOCKETPAIR is defined in config.h, I'd suggest commenting it
out, recompiling, and trying the local copying again -- perhaps having
rsync use pipes instead of so

It wont affect it at all, since socketpair() is only used to
communicate locally (don't confuse socketpair() with socket()).

There is a patch named max-size.diff in the patches directory of rsync

Correct -- that's the way --compare-dest works. Think of it as a sparse

The BackupPC software does this (and more) by using a custom perl app

The "patches" dir has a diff named compare-dest.diff that implements

Since you're merging 3 sources into one destination, unless all 3

If you're using ssh or rsh as your rsync connection, you can simply do
this:
