The command line order shouldn't matter though that might depend on
what else is in there (especially -s).

Rsync is backwards compatible so the version mismatch shouldn't matter
but 3.1 has some nice benefits over 3.0.9 so upgrading is a good idea.

In the end you probably need to know what rsync command line is being
run and what rsync says about it.  If BackupPC doesn't tell you then
try running rsync yourself.
