Partial file creation tripping up on aufs volume - tries to use a reserved name

I'm backing up a file named 'wh.txt' with the destination an aufs
volume - rsync creates a partial filename like '.wh.txt.M8ucDx', which
results in an Operation not permitted (1) error - aufs reserves
'.wh.*' names for whiteout records I think.

Other than ignoring the problem and using --inplace, it doesnt look
like I can influence how rsync names its temporary files - is this
worth a feature request?

Its just this one file causing a problem so far, so its not a big deal
- - just wondered if there was a better way.

Thanks
