rsync, OpenSolaris, & Mac Attributes?

[Jeff Waddell]

I only have one rsync version (3.0.3 pre2) on the Solaris target. I ran a
--version on both systems, and noticed that the Solaris version reports the
following capabilities: "ACLs, no xattrs, no symtimes, no file-flags" where
the Mac reports "ACLs, xattrs, symtimes, file-flags." This would explain why
rsync is failing when calling the extra -X & --fileflags feature flags
(although not -A for ACLs). I guess my question now would be are xattrs and
file-flags completely unsupported in rsync on Solaris, or does something
special have to be called when compiling rsync in order to enable them?
 Also, what could be going on with ACL support? I've reposted my error
messages below Thanks!

--exclude-from=/Users/.rsync/exclude --delete-excluded --fileflags
--protect-args --progress --dry-run
