X-debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Man page says:
       --safe-links
              This  tells rsync to ignore any symbolic links which point 
outside the copied tree. All absolute symlinks
              are also ignored. Using this option in conjunction with 
--relative may give unexpected results.

Not only --relative, but these also:
$ rsync -auv --safe-links --dry-run [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc bkup/
receiving incremental file list
ignoring unsafe symlink "/home/jidanni/phone/bkup/etc/motd" -> "/var/run/motd"
ignoring unsafe symlink "/home/jidanni/phone/bkup/etc/resolv.conf" -> 
"/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf"

I.e., it goes sniffing into the destination directory for some reason.
