osx 10.6 strange rsync errors

[Robert DuToit]

Matt,

I forgot to mention,

If I add an exclude for 

.DS_Store*

it doesn't generate the odd .DS_Store files.

However, if I copy directories with other types of hidden files like .bash_history then it generates odd versions of those too. So I added an exclude for every hidden (dot prefix) file

.*

and it seems to work ok. This might be ok as an emergency measure of course but not desirable since a lot of hidden files are needed and at root level indispensable.
