A SIGTERM (the default kill signal) should be caught by rsync, allowing
it to cleanup before it exits.

What kind of file?  A temp file, or the destination file?  You didn't
use --inplace, right?  Rsync 2.6.8 had a bug where it could leave a temp
file when interrupted, but I don't see any such problem with 3.0.6.
