That's the same environment I have here. I was using 3.0.2 but am now at 3.0.3. I can run rsyncs now using -rav but -rav -X will still cause a crash.

Just to throw my experience on this, I'm currently using rsync over
ssh (rsync -av /mnt/data user at server:/mnt/glusterfs) to sync data from
a file server to two glusterfs servers running in raid1 mode.  I've
moved about 2 TB today, and it has not had any issues.  I'm running
3.0.3 built from source on Debian Squeeze.
