I am using rsyncx v2.1 to try and come up with an automated
backup strategy.  However, I am getting some warnings related to
symlinks.  Below is an example and output:

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --eahfs -v . /Volumes/Backup/test
building file list ... done

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(639)
$ chown bpm "/Volumes/Backup/test/reject.8"

Anyone know why rsyncx gives the errors, but chown does not?
