'error in rsync protocol data stream'

[Pascal Bourguignon]

Hello,

While doing a local "rsync" with:

      rsync -v -auxHS  --force /      /backup/

(on /backup is mounted another disk), I get these errors:

rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)
rsync: error writing 69 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)


[pascal at thalassa mnt]$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26

What's the problem?
Should I upgrade rsync?
