Are you using --delete? If not this may happen if in the source a
directory is replaced by a symlink; in the destination rsync must then
remove the directory to put the symlink in place but if it's not empty
rsync can't because you didn't give --delete, explicitly or implied.
If you don't want deletions but want the dir replaced you can use --force.
