One potential solution:

 rsync -aiv --rsync-path="chroot /chroot-path /usr/bin/rsync" src
localhost:/dest

That does require you to have a working rsync inside the chroot, while a
--chroot option would not.

If you don't have working ssh to localhost (or don't want to bother with
localhost encryption), add "-e lsh" to the command and put the "lsh" shell
script from the support dir on your path.  Make sure it is a recent copy, like
this one:

 http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/lsh

If you want to make use of lsh's user options, you should instead put lsh into
the chroot (along with rsync) and do this:

 rsync -aive "chroot /chroot-path /usr/local/bin/lsh" src user at localhost:/dest

I'm leaving this bug marked as an enhancement in case we want to add a --chroot
option that makes it do a chroot internally.
