Is there a way around this?

Are you using the -E option?

To elaborate: it sounds like you're copying single-file applets and the resource fork (which is where the actual script is) is getting dropped. Use rsync -E, which should preserve them. Obviously, this is not the default. (Alternatively, get in the habit of saving your applets as bundled applications, which don't use resource forks and therefore aren't subject to this problem. That doesn't help with your existing applets, though.)
