For your next attempt I would suggest using netcat instead. That way you 
can go directly from file system in qemu to tarball on the host.

Something like:
on host: nc -l -p 1234
on qemu: tar czf / | nc <ip addr of host> 1234

May be slower than rsync though. You could leave the compression after the 
transfer.
