Sounds like the rsync daemon you are contacting is running 2.6.1.  If
so, just remove the -R option and all should be well (it's not needed by
the command you're using).  Also, since you're using --delete, get rid
of the trailing '*' in the source path -- it is inhibiting deletions in
the base dir of the transfer (leave a trailing '/').  After that, advise
the folks at ftp.uk.debian.org that they should update their rsync to
2.6.2.
