Note that the performance will be terrible. This is because to detect changes rsync will read the file from the source server, transferring the whole thing over the network. That being said if you can't do a direct transfer you will have to eat this if you are using rsync. Also don't mount the destination, it is unnecessary and will cause rsync to change some defaults because it thinks it is talking to a local disk.
