So sorry for not following this up. The problem was complicated by
tsocks 1.7 and the socks5 firewall (Aventail) used here. A few weeks
ago we switched from socks5 to Cisco PIX. After I disabled tsocks
everything Just Worked(tm).

A best guess, it's an rsync + socks5 issue maybe. To many variables to
tell and no way to replicate it.
