Yes, problem exists using pg_start/stop_backup as i discribed.
I am sure that 'rsync -avH ...' and 'tar cvf ...' will skip at least
additions made to the filesystem tree after they are started. In this
case rsync says nothing and tar says
tar: directory-name: file changed as we read it
But
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/continuous-archiving.html
suggests to use tar on rsync and i guess that PostgreSQL recovery with
wal files takes care of these inconsistencies that are created during
copying filesystem, right?
