I'd like to mark a bunch of files, but then, instead of Copy them, I want to
rsync them. Any ideas? Is this worthy of an enhancement request for dired?

What's wrong with hitting `!' after marking those files, and then
typing the rsync command?

Only that you have no control over how those filenames get substituted into the
command.
rsync ${file} somepath...

'*' and '?' should do what you want.
(dired-do-shell-command COMMAND &optional ARG FILE-LIST)
Run a shell command COMMAND on the marked files.
If no files are marked or a specific numeric prefix arg is given,
the next ARG files are used. Just C-u means the current file.
The prompt mentions the file(s) or the marker, as appropriate.
If there is a `*' in COMMAND, surrounded by whitespace, this runs
COMMAND just once with the entire file list substituted there.
If there is no `*', but there is a `?' in COMMAND, surrounded by
whitespace, this runs COMMAND on each file individually with the
file name substituted for `?'.

Have you tried Tramp's rsync method? It might suffice, if the target is
remote.
Best regards, Michael.

Thanks! Looks like what it can do what I want (although I still think it would
be a good addition to dired, since nobody else will ever figure this out), but I
get:

Oops, there is an error, indeed (in case you sync a file which does not
exist, I believe). I've fixed it in Emacs 24.0.50.
Thanks for testing, and best regards, Michael.
