In my ignorance, I thought that block size was used as part of the
"rsync algorithm" (which, by the way, I don't see referenced on 
http://boxbackup.hostworks.ca/index.php/What_it_is%2C_how_it_works ,
but it is mentioned http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/ ).
But I guess now that I think about it, that would be used then only on
the client side.  Could maybe someone draft up or point to a little
thing about how that rsync changed-blocks-only thing works on the
client and server (I tell my eyes-glazing clients, "trust me"); in the
meantime, I'll read this again:
http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/how-rsync-works.html .

Not sure what you mean?  He came from: 
http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/server.html
and/or 
http://boxbackup.hostworks.ca/index.php/Configuring_a_server

The regex is filtering out tons of stuff, so I don't think I can do
that, but I'll check it out, depending upon what Chris and I can work
out.

P.S.  When you all have some free time, check out
http://www.loband.org/loband/main which I found poking around Chris'
site.  I presume he had something to do with it.
