Hi Guys,

I've found that backing up Mac OS X hosts is failing, if the remote rsync 
receives the option '--D', which (according to the linux man page) is the 
same as '--devices --specials'. 
The --specials option seems to be not understood by the MacOSX rsync, causing 
backuppc to fail with
'Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)'

However, replacing --D with --devices, only (omitting --specials) will start 
the backup of the Apple. 

Although I don't know what omitting the --specials will cause, I'd like to 
suggest considering to change --D to --devices, so that Macs can be easily 
supported.


Thanks for developing backuppc in the first place!!!
