HI,

rsync-3.0.2 with patches/acls.diff,patches/xattrs.diff,patches/slp.diff

fails (most of the time) in the itemize test:

not sure if this has been reported already, one of the bugreports
looked like it but was closed as fixed over a month ago.

That is only true if rsync is compiled to think it can change the time
on a symlink and sometimes it can't.  Either ignore that particular
failure, or comment-out HAVE_LUTIMES in config.h and recompile (which
will make rsync never try to set the time on a symlink).
