Unable to rsync files from RHEL 7 to RHEL 6 with SELinux enabled

Latest response

If i try to rsync files from a RHEL 7 to a RHEL 6 with SELinux enabled on both machines and with -XA flags on rsync I get this error:
rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("etc/.pwd.lock","security.selinux") failed: Invalid argument (22)

The problem seems to be related to the fact that RHEL 7 has selinux contexts that don't exist on RHEL 6.

Is there any way to get around this other than turning of SELinux on the RHEL 6?
