	I am pretty sure unison cannot synchronize extended attributes yet. 
rsync, mv, cp, etc. can handle extended attributes because Apple 
modified them in Tiger. I started some very preliminary work on an OCaml 
interface to the "C" extended attribute functions, but I really haven't 
had much time to focus on this project.  If you want to help out, let me 
know.
