BSD flags are handled by flags.diff in rsync-patches-3.0.0pre8.tar.gz . > Verifying: finder-locks ...

In any event, you probably don't care about these if you're just backing up user data. > Adding --fake-super to the options of rsync doesn't help: Naturally, because that option makes rsync wrap the source metadata in an rsync-specific extended attribute that it sets on the destination file, whereas the checker tool is expecting the real destination metadata to be set.
