Sorry - my fault. I hadn't applied the patch properly. I had patched so
that the following lines resulted in rpath.py:

   def make_socket_local(rpath):
      """Make a local socket at the given path

      This takes an rpath so that it will be checked by Security.
      (Miscellaneous strings will not be.)

      """
      assert rpath.conn is Globals.local_connection
      s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX)
      s.bind(rpath.path)
      try: s.bind(rpath.path)
      except socket.error, exc:
         raise SkipFileExcep

Removing the "s.bind(rpath.path)" line fixed all problems related to
transferring sockets from Linux to FreeBSD. The patch at
http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2002-10/msg00003.html is 
good. You may forget about my earlier posting with the link to the rsync 
mailing list. Sorry about the confusion.
