I believe that rsync-2.3.2 or greater is required, because 2.3.1 and before did not handle binary files correctly. (I'm currently using a post-2.3.1 cvs snapshot, and it seems to work fine when invoked under cygwin, though I'm not using ssh with it.) You may wish to subscribe to the rsync@samba.org mailing list, or at least check the archives. I believe there are problems with ssh and Solaris in the latest release(s), but I haven't followed the details closely. Hope this helps.
