Rsync between HPUX11.11 and Redhat7.3

[Kenny Gorman]

Not sure if this helps, but I remember that I had a problem when rsync 
solaris->red hat.  I basically ended up using the whole-file option.  It 
appeared that there was some issue with the incremental compare when 
rsync'ing cross-platform.   Once I used the whole-file option, 
everything was kosher.  Not sure if that fits your situation.  Other 
people on this list may know more regarding the nuances of the 
incremental compare when doing it cross-platform.
