FWIW, I've seen no such problems ...

I'd suggest looking very closely at whatever custom steps you may have
added to ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, etc (or corresponding startup scripts
for whatever shell you use).

Hm, which rsync are you using? The one Apple ships in /usr/bin is
depressingly old. I use one built from sources, no special modifications,
and it works just fine for me. It's substantially more reliable than
Time Machine, which has started corrupting its backups on a regular
basis since I installed Sierra :-(.
Also, it seems possible that this is really the same problem as your
other problem, if you have something in ~/.cshrc that isn't playing
nice with Sierra.
