Note that this will corrupt any Macintosh documents or applications
with a Resource fork unless you apply the resource fork patch to
rsync. rsync by default is not resource fork aware.
If you run these utilities from Tiger, you don't have that problem.
cp, mv, rm and rsync are all Spotlight and Resource Fork aware in Tiger.
