I think he's saying, using smbmount would allow applications
like rsync work with the files as if they were local, the same
way;
	mount -o loop [other options] file.iso /mount/point
makes the contents of an iso image appear as regular files.

Could be wrong, but that's what I got from it.


...Or if possible, install rsync on the network drive, and
use;
	rsync://mybooklive/public/
as the source location.

That one seems unlikely; even if the drive does run Linux as an
embedded system [as many routers do], it might be very limited
in terms of user interaction and/or user modifications.



Cheers,

Patrick.
