'error in rsync protocol data stream'

Certainly, you should upgrade your rsync.  2.4.6 had more than its share 
of problems.  2.5.5 is generating few complaints.  As far as what's 
actually happening to you, if it continues after the upgrade, give us 
another run with more "v"s.

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)
