I suggest that you go right to the latest stable version of rsync,
3.0.4, if at all possible.  It has lots of bug fixes as well as an
incremental recursion mode that might help if your 50 GB is spread out
over many files.  If you still get an error after upgrading, post the
specific error message and we can look into it.
