FYI Wayne,

In differentially updating a full clone with rsync, I don't want to be 
creating duplicate files in something that is intended for restoring a 
working volume, so I included the -H option.  Unfortunately that bring 
me back to the conflict in OS X :-(

The specific error message encountered with --inplace already included 
an tested an adding just -H for testing:

rsync: open "/Volumes/LaCie_Disk_B/System/Library/CoreServices/BootX" 
failed: Operation not permitted (1)

Maybe I can come up with some fun and games to salvage the effort.
