Please be more specific about what is going wrong.  If you get an
error message, please send the exact text.  If rsync is successful,
what does it do that you didn't expect/want?

Rsync works at file level, not block level.  (Of course, if a source
file is itself a filesystem image, then one could say that rsync works
at block level for that image.)
