There are rsync patches available for Mac OS X which offer various
meta-data support. If you decide to use these patches, then rsync will
offer you some additional options.
Details on compiling rsync with these patches on Mac OS X is available
from the following URL :

Hope this helps.

Make sure your $PATH is set so that the rsync you installed will be
found first. When you have this right, "which rsync" should
print /usr/local/bin/rsync .
