I'm responding to my own message.

Let's say I happen to move all music from /music/artist - album/ to 
/music/artist/album. Even though a local snapshot would handle this well, 
rsync would create new files on the remote machine, and when I then take a 
snapshot there, it will be HUGE! 

Can I resolve this?
