Are you sure?  Please post your daemon configuration and "ls -l" output
for the affected destination files.

The loss of the connection looks like a separate problem.  See if there
is any information about what happened in the daemon's log file.
Running the client and daemon under strace might yield more information.

Also, consider upgrading to a newer version of rsync on both sides.  The
newest is 3.0.3.
