installing rsync-3-0-5 on a Mac

[henri]

There are rsync patches available for Mac OS X which offer various  
meta-data support. If you decide to use these patches, then rsync will  
offer you some additional options.

Details on compiling rsync with these patches on Mac OS X is available  
from the following URL :

Hope this helps.
