We had that exact same thing happen after a customer upgraded their 
checkpoint firewall. We were never able to figure out what the firewall 
upgrade versions were, but turning off -z (--compress) fixed the problem. 
We were using rsync 2.6.2 at the time. We no longer back up this 
customer's data so are unable to determine if a newer version resolves the 
problem.
