I guess, when in doubt check the doc's.  The FIRST step when you have
a problem.

>From TFM:

SYMBOLIC LINKS
       Three basic behaviors are possible when rsync encounters a
       symbolic link in the source directory.
       
       By default, symbolic links are not transferred at all.  A
       message "skipping non-regular" file is emitted for any symlinks
       that exist.
