I am running latest rsync  version 2.6.8  on both ends.
The receiver is a daemon. When I transfer a symbolic link
like this:

/tmp/rsync -av /opt/iat/IaT3.1.1/bin/*  uxgary::root/opt/iat/IaT3.1/bin
building file list ... done
compile_plan.py -> ../python/compile_plan.py
iat_status -> ../python/iat_status.py
load_iat_xml.py -> ../python/load_iat_xml.py
show_engine.py -> ../python/show_engine.py
start_server.py -> ../python/start_server.py
stop_server.py -> ../python/stop_server.py

However, at the destination the .. is missing. for example
the link "../python/compile_plan.py" becomes "python/compile_plan.py"
at the destination.
