I can't speak directly to your rsync issues, but I can speak a little to your virtualization question.
At our company we use VMware server to make virtualized server environments for each project. This has worked out great for us: 1) The virtual machines can be pretty small because it doesn't take much memory or space to run a small development server. 2) The virtual machines can easily be copied, which means that you can have one central staging server and each developer can have their own local version of the server which is exactly the same in terms of software versions and settings. 3) The same virtual machine works fine under Windows and Linux (and probably OSX as well, although we haven't tried that yet). You just connect to a shared folder on your development server using samba (on Windows) or sshfs (on Linux) and then you can use your preferred tools and desktop environment, no problem. Commands that need to be run on the server are run using an ssh session. 4) It's free (as in beer). I started out developing on Windows using this setup... after a few months I was comfortable enough with Linux that I wanted to completely switch, so now my computer is all Linux... but the virtual machines are exactly the same either way. As an added bonus, if you DO decide to mostly switch to Linux, you can virtualize Windows inside VMware Server as well. That works fine but can be a bit tricky since many computers come with OEM copies of Windows that are locked to the specific hardware they came with; make sure you research this issue before going that path (ESPECIALLY if you are using Vista, which has stricter rules regarding virtualization).
