       wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).

     - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
       rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:

       --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
