Are you sure?

His "bouncer" test is a Mac->Mac test from what I see.

I don't see where he did something like Mac->UNIX->Mac, which is what  
most of us would need.

I know that Apple updated rsync to handle meta information, but it  
only seems to work Mac->Mac.

In fact, I just tried it... if I try to use -E, it actually hangs  
rsync until I kill it, if I am transferring to a non-Mac machine.
