Where I am unclear is if in not using -H a hard link, (i.e. a
duplicate directory entry for a file) will result in duplicated files?


Yes, all separate filenames will be separate files without -H.

Thanks for all your help and patience Wayne.

FYI Wayne,

In differentially updating a full clone with rsync, I don't want to be creating duplicate files in something that is intended for restoring a working volume, so I included the -H option. Unfortunately that bring me back to the conflict in OS X :-(

The specific error message encountered with --inplace already included an tested an adding just -H for testing:

rsync: open "/Volumes/LaCie_Disk_B/System/Library/CoreServices/BootX" failed: Operation not permitted (1)

Maybe I can come up with some fun and games to salvage the effort.
