Rsync Failure for /vagrant on MacOS

[4tuw2tuv0]

I'm not sure if it's specific to Mac (I can't test on any other machine, I'm afraid, but I assume it's working for you) but I get this error when I try including the bit given in the README for setting up the /vagrant directory:

There was an error when attempting to rsync a synced folder.
Please inspect the error message below for more info.

This appears to be an upstream bug (hashicorp/vagrant#9221 among others). Not sure there's a fix that can be applied here!

Huh; well, damn. I'd been hoping I'd be able to shift our work VM over to Guix but 'can't really go anywhere with it without this feature. Oh, well.

Thanks a ton for figuring that out for me; and for creating this! It's really cool that Guix is available for Vagrant.

There's also a reference in #1 to a Guix config from elsewhere that appears to have solved the Guest Additions problem which would fix this. I haven't had the time to investigate, but patches welcomed!
