[scponly] Problems with rsync and ver 4.6

[wby oblyr]

Hi Dhiresh,

Thanks for the bug report, this relates to the new getopt processing feature added within the last couple months.  
I will be addressing this shortly.  

Basically, the getopt processor thinks that --server is the same as -s -e -r -v, and since -e is a disallowed 
rsync option, scponly is disallowing the argument.

I'll be working on a fix shortly.
