Arch Linux

Description:
I can't sync abs anymore:
$ sudo abs
==> Starting ABS sync...
Unexpected remote arg: rsync.archlinux.org::abs/x86_64/
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1204) [sender=3.0.7]

I tried a tarball too:
$ sudo abs -t
==> Downloading tarballs...
==> core...
==> ERROR: Download failed
[...]

Additional info:
* package version(s)
abs 2.3.4.1-1
rsync 3.0.7-1
pacman 3.4.1-1


I checked /usr/bin/abs and found the problem. The environment variable "INCLUDE" is set by the intel compiler to /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/em64t/include:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/mkl/include. This breaks the rsync command:
rsync -mrtv --no-motd --delete-after --no-p --no-o --no-g --delete-excluded /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/em64t/include:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/mkl/include --filter=P_/local/ --filter=P_/README rsync.archlinux.org::abs/{x86_64,any}/ /var/abs/

Clearing INCLUDE just before the if fixed it:

Any reason to NOT clear the variable?
