The code that produces the cited error is in the function
try_dests_non() in generator.c. With CAN_HARDLINK_SPECIAL undefined,
this code should prevent a device file from being hard-linked:
#ifndef CAN_HARDLINK_SPECIAL
&& !IS_SPECIAL(file->mode) && !IS_DEVICE(file->mode)
#endif
I'd suggest adding some debug code inside the body of that if that
outputs the file->mode value and checking to see why IS_DEVICE() does
not match it (that's defined in rsync.h).
