A nice workaround to this backslashing problem is to place your filter 
statements into a file - say /home/user/rsync_filters - and add a 
corresponding statement to your arguments:
        --filter=.\ /home/user/.usync/filters

If you later want to add additional filter statements to your 
command-line, your command line will probably blow up even if you become 
a backslash acrobat, a filter file makes things much easier
