Then again, the data is saved decrypted on the destination disk. Maybe the files should be individually encrypted with a symmetric algorithm on the source before transmission. This could be done with either a script or the --source-filter option provided by an experimental rsync patch. Note that typical encryption algorithms prevent incremental transfer from identifying unchanged portions of a file; rsyncrypto does not but I'm not sure I trust its security.
