Well there's nothing in that configuration and command that jumps out at me, except that I don't think the max-delete option is very heavily used (and therefore not very heavily tested). I suggest putting some debugging statements int he code to narrow down where that error code of 255 is coming from. That indicates that start_client returned 255 which means that client_run returned 255. I didn't trace it further.
Also, the fix at http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-February/006371.htm might possibly give you a more understandable error message.
