Apologies - you can ignore this message. For some reason I thought the
.config file was there, but as you suggested, it was missing from this
particular source tree.  On subseuqent tests, I found that the .config
file was copied over without problems.

As far as I know, rsync does not treat files whose names begin with a
dot (traditionally "hidden" files) specially.  Are you sure .config
exists on the source but not the destination?  Did rsync mention in
the verbose output that it was trying to copy .config ?
