find out the meaning of rsync error code

[Jignesh Shah]

Stuart,

This problem is harassing us since long now. It occurs only when we
run rsync in daemon mode and on remote sites. It works perfectly fine
if source and destination are in same site. We have tried
--blocking-io and also ran rsync manually but still no luck. We are
not able to find what is the actual problem.

Could you please help us here.

Thanks,
Jignesh
