rsync eating bandwidth without doing anything

rsync fails to make a directory at the remote site, but continues anyway.

$ rsync -av local 10.1.1.1:/somewhere/
building file list ... done
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "local": Permission denied (2)
stat local : No such file or directory

You can do this locally too - rsync to a usb device, then unplug the device. rsync keeps doing something.
