I got one approach to work, using rsync daemon.  I'd prefer to use
normal shell transports instead of the daemon, though, so if anyone has
ideas I would appreciate hints.

jas at latte:~/android/samsung3$ cat rsyncd.conf 
address 127.0.0.1
uid = root
gid = root
[root]
	path = /
jas at latte:~/android/samsung3$ adb push rsyncd.conf  /extSdCard/rsyncd.conf
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

jas at latte:~/android/samsung3$ sudo rsync -av --exclude /dev --exclude /acct --exclude /sys --exclude /proc rsync://localhost:6010/root/ /root/s3-bup/
