I suspect that it got an I/O error in a situation (like reading a
directory) that creates a non-zero probability that the list of
files that should not be deleted is incomplete. The deletion is
skipped in order to avoid the risk of deleting something that should
not be deleted.
I would guess it's not deleting any files because it cannot be sure
that it would be deleting only the ones really to be deleted. The
thing to do is find out why there is an I/O error, or what it thinks
is an I/O error. It may, for example, be getting an incomplete list
from the server.

Is this via RSH/SSH or the rsyncd port? This could be related to #1.
