Here's the relevant code in receiver.c:

                if (fd != -1 && write_file(fd,map,len) != (int) len) {
                        rprintf(FERROR, "write failed on %s: %s\n",
                                full_fname(fname), strerror(errno));
                        exit_cleanup(RERR_FILEIO);
                }

Wayne - why is the "write failed" message not being displayed?
It should have contained the EFBIG File Too Large error message.
That would helped figure out the original problem (which, as Craig
Barratt noted, is perhaps a per-process limit setting).
