error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(298)

I'm running into a problem rsynchronizing over an rsh connection on the same
subnet.  I get variations of the "unexpected tag" error, consistently failing
within io.c at line 298:

unexpected tag 88
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(298)

Here's the rsync command I've been using:

rsync -lrpogtz --delete --rsh=rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /home dest:/

I've been all over the net looking for help and am about to give up.  Can anyone
out there provide some suggestions?

Regards,
Doug
