It sounds like your version of AIX has similar problems to HP-UX.  You
will need to re-compile rsync doing something like this:

1) run ./configure with whatever options you normally use
2) edit the config.h file and comment out the line "#define
HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP 1"
3) continue normally (e.g. "make", "make test", etc.)

Here's an older list article that describes the fix:
