Rsyncrypto doesn't seem to send the files directly.  From the tutorial 
(http://www.linux.com/feature/125322) linked from the home page 
(http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com/index.php/Home_Page):

"rsyncrypto is designed to be used as a presync option to rsync. That 
is, you first use rsyncrypto on the plain unencrypted files to obtain an 
encrypted directory tree, and you then run rsync to send that encrypted 
tree to a remote system."

The tag line on the Sourceforge page 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncrypto) states "rsync friendly file 
encryption".  On that same page, the description states "A slightly 
reduced strength bulk encryption. In exchange for the reduced strength, 
you get the ability to rsync the encrypted files, so that local changes 
in the plaintext file will result in (relatively) local changes to the 
cyphertext file."

Perhaps you have a different source of information?
