Indeed it does, and even worse, if your network requires a proxy, this totally
does not work.  Even if you have a proxy configured through drakconf, it still
won't use it for rsync.  This technically is correct, as that proxy setting is
supposed to be just for http/https/ftp, and globally setting the RSYNC_PROXY
variable along with those may be undesirable and cause problems with using rsync
across your local network.  Still, it'd be nice if this could be handled better
somehow.  I'm just not sure what the right solution is.
