Did you try going down to a 2.x version of rsync?   Newer versions are
supposed to negotiate the protocol level but it looks like that isn't
happening in this situation.   But, unless you care about the
bandwidth used, you could just script something around the command
line BackupPC_tarCreate tool piped though ssh to a remote extract
instead of using rysnc for this at all.
