Wayne,

OK, might be. I haven't tested it the exactly way you're doing it now, since I
did it other way. But this was important to take care in order to fix the bugs
related to sparse with inplace [1], [2]. But due to missing response I've hold
back the fix (not yet throughly tested) for me.

[2] Status of --inplace and --sparse in rsync or alternative?
