I believe that rsync-2.3.2 or greater is required, because 2.3.1 and before did not handle binary files correctly. (I'm currently using a post-2.3.1 cvs snapshot, and it seems to work fine when invoked under cygwin, though I'm not using ssh with it.) You may wish to subscribe to the rsync AT samba DOT org mailing list, or at least check the archives. I believe there are problems with ssh and Solaris in the latest release(s), but I haven't followed the details closely. Hope this helps.
