I have a similar problem. I'm trying to specify a custom per-

--filter='dir-merge .rsync-filter-m'
but because the whole thing is double-quoted the filter rule
arrives in single quotes. I can't simply leave out the quotes
here because the --filter option only gets the first token as its
argument.....
You can use an underscore instead of a space after the "dir-merge".
Thanks, that's solved it.
Now there's a new problem I'd appreciate any help with. I've just
started out with 3.0.0pre8 on OS X Leopard 10.5.1, patched according
to Mike Bombich's recipe on this list at
<http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-January/019618.html>
I have also run the backup-bouncer test as suggested (using -aHAX
and --fileflags) and obtained results identical to Rob DuToit's.
(Devices and fifos did not copy with their xattrs but all else was
OK - this may be related to the bug Wayne opened.)
I think the errors that rsync complains about on devices and fifos
should be ignored. I applied this patch and the errors go away and
the backup-bouncer test succeeds (e.g. the fifos and devices are
recreated without error):

I plan to submit that, I just haven't had a spare moment.
However, trying a local rsync on my own home directory with -X and
the destination set to a directory on a local HFS+-formatted
FireWire disk (actually an iPod) immediately errors out with
[sender] could not find xattr #2 for .
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
xattrs.c(561) [sender=3.0.0pre8]
Things seem to be OK if I omit -X to leave the xattrs out.
Is this a bug or is there something up with my filesystem? (My
installation's only a month old.)
I'm getting the same error with pre8 and the nightly from the 27th. I
haven't boiled it down to a reproducible case yet, though. I tried to
do that last night but ran out of time...
