As a side note, I'd really appreciate it (personally) if you would use
penguinppc.org. linuxppc.org is owned and operated by LinuxPPC Inc
(ostensibly "volunteers from the community"), and they have copied all of
penguinppc.org's files without attributing the content to its original
authors. As a user I ask you not to support such practices.
Also, now that they're trying to maintain their own site, penguinppc.org
is updated far more frequently than linuxppc.org.
So let's pretend you said http://penguinppc.org/usr/xf4/ ;)

That's correct. If you look carefully at that page, you'll notice that the
complete line is:
rsync -arvz penguinppc.org::xfree86-pmac .
compare that to what you have:
rsync -arvz penguinppc.org::xfree86-pmac
This is actually a common error which could be better explained; I'll go
clarify that right now.
