Have you check the issues and debugging page yet?  (See item #3):

    http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html

Also, it's possible that the TCP connection has started to fail for
reasons outside of rsync's control (such as a router rebooting).  Can
you keep a normal remote-shell connection open for extended periods of
time between the two systems involved?
