rsync - Apr 2010 - on remote machine: --remove-source-files: unknown option

I'm trying to sync from 3.0.5 to 2.5.5 (SCO, *sigh*) The source
machine errors out b/c the --remove-source-files (or
--remove-sent-files) options don't exist on 2.5.5. 

But, since these option are only acted on by the sending machine (which 
is where I'm typing the command line), it would be so nice if the source 
machine would NOT pass the option on to the receiver (or at least, not 
barf when it doesn't work). Any way to do this?

Thanks!

No, actually --remove-source-files is passed on to the receiver in order
to get a confirmation when the receiver finishes with a file, so that
the sender can delete the source file.  Just hacking the code not to
pass the option to the receiver would not work.
