Any chance the rsync worked despite the error?

Google suggests that there are various ways to get this, that may be 
rsync bugs, or may be related to number of files, or may be due to 
memory etc. restrictions imposed by cron.

The version of rsync at cluedenver seems sufficiently new.  Maybe 
upgrading your end would help.  Maybe there's something unusual in the 
directory tree (corruption, circular links, etc).
