Your shell is probably including the raw wildcards when they don't match
anything, so you should be using include/exclude options instead of the
wildcards.  For instance:

rsync -rti --remove-source-files --ignore-existing --include=*.tar --exclude=* \
user at source:operativo/almacen/{ESP05,EU}/recorte/ /media/BACKUP3_PROMES10/PROMES10km/
