More fields were enlarged in stat than just filesize.  I'm
guessing but i'd say your rsync was built with
HAVE_OFFSET64_T undefined.  As near as i can tell this
message appears to be comming from libc (i don't have an AIX
or Solaris machine to check).  The enlarged field could be
one that rsync doesn't care about but you might want to
rebuild rsync making sure that HAVE_OFFSET64_T is defined so
that it uses stat64.
