Rsync stops randomly (using vanished files bash script)

Hey,

I've been trying to transfer about 90GB from one Server to another using 
rsync. But rsync stops randomly. I use the bash script provided in a bug 
report, to block errors about vanished files!

Here is how I start rsync:
./rsync-no-vanished -vvvvv -a -e ssh --delete --progress -z 
root at kilu3.de:/var/www/users /data/oldkilu3/ > /data/rsync.kilu3n &

When I log in into the server after a couple of hours, rsync is not 
running anymore and has transfered only like 10% of the files. I tried 
it 5 times over 3 days and both servers were definitely up and running 
the whole time. Here are some the tails of 3 of my output files:

# tail -f /data/rsync.kilu2n2
data recv 16378 at 78016976
data recv 16378 at 78033354
data recv 52 at 78049732
data recv 16378 at 78049784

data rec

recv_file_name(users/jugendkreis/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif)
[sender] make_file(users/jugendkreis/forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif,*,2)
recv_file_name(users


The files are just cut of, and I don't see why. Could anybody explain 
this to me?

Regards,
Samy
