[Bug] rsync 3.0.x does not delete content with -x / one_fs 1 [sf#32]

Running rsnapshot with -x or "one_fs 1" does possibly not delete content on the snapshot directory which it would have deleted with rsync 2.x.
In our situation we are doing all snapshots with "one_fs 1". I realized the problem after a directory /var/opt has been moved to its own filesystem and a new entry has been made in rsnapshot do backup it. The problem is that the content under /var/opt/ still exists in the /var snapshot, which I excpected it should have been removed. Note that this has always worked as expected with rsync 2.x.
