rsync hangs after aborting a process

[cewing]

Greetings.  In testing an rsync backup script I'd created, I made a mistake
and aborted the running script with a ctrl-C keyboard interrupt.  The
command that was running at the time was as follows:

${RSYNC_CMD} -aNHAXx --protect-args --fileflags --force-change
--rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" <username>@<my.server.com>:${CPY_SRC}
${CPY_DEST}

The expected data transfer was somewhere in the range of 150GB, but all in
small-to-medium sized text files and images.  The transfer was aborted after
approximately 10GB of files were transferred.  

Now, whenever I try to run the same script, rsync hangs.  No data is
transferred.  I can stop the process with the same keyboard interrupt, and I
get the following message:

Killed by signal 2.
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(597) [receiver=3.0.3]

If i try running the command with a few --verbose flags, I see this:

receiving file list ... 
[receiver] expand file_list pointer array to 262144 bytes, did move
[sender] expand file_list pointer array to 262144 bytes, did move
[receiver] expand file_list pointer array to 524288 bytes, did move
[sender] expand file_list pointer array to 524288 bytes, did move
[receiver] expand file_list pointer array to 1048576 bytes, did move
[sender] expand file_list pointer array to 1048576 bytes, did move
[receiver] expand file_list pointer array to 2097152 bytes, did move
[sender] expand file_list pointer array to 2097152 bytes, did move
[receiver] expand file_list pointer array to 4194304 bytes, did move
[sender] expand file_list pointer array to 4194304 bytes, did move


I'm pretty much at a loss to explain what is happening here, or how to fix
it.  Searches on google and here in this forum have not brought up any
useful results, although I admit it might be because I have no idea what to
call the problem.  Anyone have any clever ideas, and great solutions?  

More info:
  both machines are OS X.  source is OS X Server 10.4.11, destination is OS
X 10.5.4
  both machines are running a hand-built rsync v.3.0.3, since the rsync that
ships with OS X isn't really      
    good enough

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have :)
