The "Broken Pipe" and the "error in rsync protocol data stream" are both aftermath of a previously occurring error. The other errors all mean that the sender received something invalid from the generator. That could indicate either a bug in rsync or corruption in the network connection. You could dump the data that each side sends and receives over the network using the "savetransfer" program that comes in support/ of the rsync source package ( http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.9.tar.gz ) to determine whether network corruption is occurring.
