OS X relies on the file extension, so as long as you have .doc, .pdf, etc. added to the file name, you shouldn't have problems. I have not worked with rsyncX, so I am not sure how it transfers the files, but I think it is supposed to copy the resource forks too. If you are copying to a non HFS partition though, that is where they may get lost.
