In which case it's a valid error -- the filename overflowed the buffer
(the prior error was only a protocol corruption due to the impossible
hugeness of the message length it mentioned).  Newer rsync versions
have more headroom in the message buffers, so upgrading the 2.6.4
version may allow the transfer to complete without error (but it
may not be enough if the dirs are way too deep).
