It might be easier to use rsync on both sides. I used Homebrew to update the antique version of rsync on Mac OSX Mojave running in a VM when I was playing with it. See How to update Rsync on Mac OS Mojave and High Sierra for the procedure I used.
Thanks! This could definitely be helpful, too. Since I'm storing the library that the Pi hosts on an external drive, It's easy enough to only run FreeFileSync on the Mac to mirror/one-way sync my Mac libraries to the external drive, then point the Pi at those folders without any extra Linux packages.
