Then you really need to solve the compression problem first.

Wow, it seems you are right.

Anyways, it's just the following two liner:
#!/bin/sh

exec cat

If someone messes the rsyncability of the file before rsyncrypto gets 
into the picture, then there really is nothing we can do. If, on the 
other hand, your backup system can be persuaded to use rsyncable gzip 
(or even rsyncrypto directly, though it also doesn't support filter mode 
yet), then we can still help you :-)
