You might try adding "</dev/tty", "</dev/null", or something like that.
Rsync is calling getsockopt() on the STDIN file descriptor to ask for
the socket type, and you need to make sure that the processes's STDIN is
something that will cause that function to return an error.  If changing
the stdin doesn't work, you'll need to figure out why getsockopt() is
misbehaving -- perhaps it is returning success but the values returned
are different from what a real socket would return, so the is_a_socket()
code could be modified to work with the incompatible getsockopt().
