Rsync currently does not support that sort of character mapping.  I
hacked up a patch to rsync (attached) to add a --tr option that performs
it.  '--tr=:/!' should accomplish what you need.

Wayne: You can include the patch in patches/ if you like; I doubt the
patch is worth your effort to maintain it, but you did include the ACL
patch when it was at a similar stage.
