I'd go for manual intervention.  Not sure why rsync didn't like it,
but what happened is, where development/{i386,x86_64,source}/ existed
as directories before, they are now symlinks to
development/rawhide/{i386,x86_64,source}/ directories, due to the
policy change to No Frozen Rawhide (Fedora 13 branched from rawhide
quite early, letting both continue development in parallel).
