has anyone tried backuppc with this rsync patch:

  http://www.quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/

looking at it, it oughtta work.

as i look at it, however, i notice that to restore files you need to manually
reassemble the resource & data forks, so unless you had a really compelling
reason to use rsync instead of xtar, it would be inferior.
