Ah, this part beginning on line 30371 seems to be the root of the
problem:

22250 write(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 262144 <unfinished ...>

22250 <... write resumed> )             = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
22248 select(5, NULL, [4], [4], {60, 0}) = 1 (out [4], left {60, 0})
22248 write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 6400 <unfinished ...>
22250 write(4, "S\0\0\10rsync: write failed on \"/mnt"..., 87 <unfinished ...>
22248 <... write resumed> )             = 6400

Rsync aborted because its write to the JungleDisk virtual filesystem
failed with an I/O error.  You should look at the JungleDisk logs to
find out why JungleDisk returned the I/O error.

In strace output, "unfinished" after a system call just means that
something happened in another process before the call finished.  The
result of the call is given in a subsequent line with "CALL-NAME
resumed".  This isn't anything bad.
