If, for instance, it's still connected to your remote shell process via a pipe (perhaps that process hasn't failed yet?) then rsync will wait around for that pipe to close down before it would get an error. The --timeout option just puts a limit on how long rsync will wait around with nothing happening on the socket. ..wayne..
