Did you install the separate command-line tools package?  You can do 
that from within the Xcode application's Preferences.

The X11 issue is a warning, as it says.

The problem, as per the next paragraph down, is that you don't have an 
rsync executable, due to lack of the Xcode command-line tools.  The 
separate command-line package is a recent change from Apple, and our 
text doesn't yet reflect that.

Two problems, one solution. :-)
