That explains it.  I bet rsync is trying to call lutimes to set the symlink
times but the kernel doesn't support it.  Since support for lutimes was added
to Linux in version 2.6.22, this could happen if you build rsync on a system
with kernel >= 2.6.22 and run the result on a system with kernel < 2.6.22.  Is
this your situation?

Symlink mtimes usually don't mean anything terribly important, so you probably
don't need to worry about the errors.  If you want them to go away, rebuild
rsync on the system that is running it and use that copy of rsync.
