Response to: Beware rsync's huge bug...
The rsync od RsyncX has the same problem, as well as hfsrsync from darwinports, which is the same as the RsyncX rsync, I guess. Do you know an rync which definetly doesn't have this bug?

  In my experience, the version of rsync included with RsyncX definitely does not have this bug. I use it all the time and have observed no problems like the one I described.
  
  With the RsyncX version the command you'd use is:
  
  rsync -a --eahfs SOURCE DEST
  
  This should be equivalent to "rsync -aE" with Tiger's stock rsync.
  
  In my usage the modification dates are correct, both for copying to a different drive on the same system and for copying to a remote system over ssh.
