No, nothing with RSYNC in my environment:

$ env | egrep RSYNC
$ 

I also tried as a different user and after removing most of the
environment variables.

FWIW, it fails the same way for me on solaris 10 (my build of rsync
3.0.5 from source) and on fedora 9 with the standard rpm
(rsync-3.0.4-0.fc9.i386).  On fedora 9:

$ rsync --version
rsync  version 3.0.4  protocol version 30

    append, ACLs, xattrs, iconv, symtimes

Grasping at straws ... could it be an rsync version problem?  What
version do you have, and what is on cr.openjdk.java.net?
