Did you check that path?  I assume there is a file that is in the way of
a directory that needs to be created.  Perhaps this condition just
arose?

If the above guess is right, you can manually remove the file and it
should let rsync create the directory it's trying to make.  (Yes, in the
future it would be nice if the backup option dealt with a file switching
to a directory in a better fashion.)

If the above guess is not right, please supply more detail as to what
exactly isn't working as expected.
