<sent from another machine (which cannot receive email) so threading may not work properly> I tried Cameron's advice (touching the local copy of the iso), and the results are useful but disappointing -- it shows that rsync is not updating the iso. Below is the "transcript" of my run of rsync. I suspect the problem relates to the "unexpected EOF in read_timeout", but I don't know exactly what that means or what to do about it. (Before I send this, I'll try changing permissions to 777.)
