osx 10.6 strange rsync errors

[Robert DuToit]

Hi Carson,

OK no differences:

Build 3.0.7 with or without patches
Build 3.0.6 with or without patches
Apple rsync (as far as Users report

all have same issues with hidden files on OSX 10.6.3

This is transferring over local ethernet network to another Mac OSX 10.6.3 ( Again I had to use my old 10.5 box to send but all users are reporting issues with all 10.6.3 machines)

basic Mac options

path/to/rsync -aHAXN --fileflags --force-change -stats -vvvv src dst output
