Rsync 3.0.5pre2 released

[BuraphaLinux Server]

Trying rsync 3.0.5pre2 from ext3 on lvm2 on md to USB thumb drive
still fails, but has a different message now:

rsync -rltpvxH --progress --delete /data/bls1.2/dvd/source .

  (lots of success, but then this)

source/applications/inotify_tools/inotify-tools-3.13.tar.gz
       32768   8%    0.00kB/s    0:00:00
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
File-list index 0 not in 151 - 1874 (finish_hard_link) [generator]
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at rsync.c(647)
[generator=3.0.5pre2]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9164 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
io.c(600) [sender=3.0.5pre2]

Since the rsync is going from one place on the machine to another
without using the network, I fail to understand how a protocol failure
can occur.
