That still didn't recognize rsync_log_t. But I went ahead 
and upgraded to 5.2, and my original selinux policy works -- 
it doesn't use rsync_log_t at all.

My (completely wild) guess is that something with symlinks 
("class lnk_file") got fixed in the new policy, but I don't 
know what.

Thanks for the help though!
