from man rsync:
23     Partial transfer due to error

sometimes a file gets deleted/altered between the time it is entered into the 
building file list and when it actually gets transferred, which on a large 
sync can be a while. This happens with pop boxes in particular, but also with 
websites in development. Just run it again.

You also might want to switch verbose off, sometimes it can obscure an error

If the error is persistent and consistent then you need to isolate it and 
either add it to your exclude list or resolve it some other way

keep an eye on your cpu and memory usage, especially on the receiving machine

I'm working on a problem at the moment, where a mirror of a machine just 
croaks during the transfer, killing the network connection completely ;-(
