I'd love to, but I've decided it is a POS.  I constantly hangs for me
(and has for serval rsync releases now) when I try to copy an Alpha
release to ftp.freebsd.org (or any other FreeBSD box).  I guess I should
spend the time to put tons of printf()s in the code as "-vvvvv" hasn't
given my anything to go on.

It doesn't anymore. :-)
rdist6's rdist -P <transport-path> -DFn -c name ...  [login@]host[:dest]
works very well.
