rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at rsync.c, using --iconv=. and (code 2) and rsync-3.0.0pre8

[Edmond Dantes]

Dear List,

Running rsync on our intradisk Xscale Arm BigEndian MiniServer (NAS) 
System is causing some problems running
on special character files and crashing.
Rsync is syncing running on a mounted samba share, syncing to the local 
disk. It is started with the parameters
--iconv=. what I suggest is the solution for syncing the attached file.

log output in /var/log/messages
received request to transfer non-regular file: 1706 [sender]
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at rsync.c(297) 
[sender=3.0.0pre8]

If running without the "--iconv=." option I get the following error
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at 
main.c(1058) [sender=3.0.0pre8]
caused by the attached document file.

I'm using libiconv-1.9.1 and a linux-2.4.31 Kernel System based on an 
open embedded linux similar to openslug libc-2.3.90 system
my rsync command line ist as follows:
/sbin/rsync -v --log-file=/var/log/rsync.status.log --delete-before 
--partial -y -ogt -vaxH /mnt/download /export/backup

Thank you very much for any help,

Edmond
