The Apple-supplied rsync in 10.4 does "work" but with numerous  
caveats, and it doesn't handle ACLs correctly either, at the moment.

And I definitely agree: something officially sanctioned, as part of  
the official release of rsync would be far preferable to me. If Apple  
would help in that matter, then great. But I certainly don't know if  
that is or might (be) happening.
