I'm not an 'rsync' user, but I would think it would not copy the boot record 
(MBR). Use 'dd' instead, when the partitions in question are not in use by 
vms:

dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/hda6

Then you can use 'rsync' for synchronizations after that, if desired. Make 
sure the hostname, etc. have been changed from within the new guest.
