I ran the same as before but changed the path to the one you suggested:

===============================
'rsync -a -l -v --exclude "./System Volume Information"
-e "ssh -c blowfish -l root" /mnt/User_WinXP/
10.10.10.25:/home/httpd/backup'

sending incremental file list
rsync: opendir "/mnt/User_WinXP/System Volume Information" failed:
Permission denied (13)

[snip ...]

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous
errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7]
===============================

The System Volume is shown as 0700 (mounted with default permissions)
and is owned by root when viewed from Gentoo.
