error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

It seems however that this issue maight have soemthing with permisions on
the client side. I've noticed that somehow rights of some directories are
changed during rsync-ing. So I've tried to reset rights (added write access
for owner) in all directoris recursievely after each rsync try. I don't know
if this was the reason but this is 1st time for more than 2 weeks now it
succeeded!
Do you have ideas what is the reason?

Hi,

I've been experiencing this error for 2 weeks now. I don't now ehat could be
a reason. I've tried to update with latest sources, but the same result (I'm
not sure for line number, but the rest is the same).

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (5881604 bytes received so far)

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

My synchronized data is about - 6.6GB & lot of files. It used to run without
problems but now it can't finish rvrn 1 time. Interesting part is that it
breaks often at the same place it was filed previous run (I have a loop in
shell script). I've checked source and destination rights - everything
should be fine. I've even deleted part of destination data. It didn't
succeed to download the deleted data.
So what could be a reason for this problem? Where can I look for possible
problems? Is it in rsync or in communication channel (I use ssh tunneling)?
Do you think that rsync server might do this better?

10x in advance!
