I get the same error even after taking the advise from the subsequent posts to this message and other message stateing "error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)" .
The one thing that i have noticed is that is only errors when the size of the directory on the remote machine exceeds 65GB. if it's 66GB the transfer will fail half way through. The files i'm transfering are BKF files from veritas backup exec and they range from 2-4GB each. In addition my --timeout period is set to "4000" So with that said if i keep the folder under 65GB i have no problems what so ever. Also both machines taking part in this process are 2.4ghz and have 512mb or pc-3200.
