MAXPATHLEN is a system-defined value of the longest path a function such as
open() can handle, so you can't just arbitrarily increase it. If your OS
provides a MAXPATHLEN value that is smaller than what open() can handle, file a
bug with the FreeBSD folks. If it doesn't provide any such define, rsync.h
will set it to be a conservative 1024 bytes. If you find that FreeBSD has some
other define for this maximal value I can either get rsync.h to make use of it,
or you can get the FreeBSD folks to define MAXPATHLEN.
As for increasing the value not helping -- you must either not have defined it
right, or you must be doing a transfer where the other side doesn't have a
larger buffer.
