Problem rsyncing 450GB file to my NAS: 'connection unexpectedly closed'

Hi list!

I'm trying to use rsync to do a regular remote backup of a 450GB sized 
container file located on my squeeze server onto a colocated QNap NAS 
device.

Both use rsync 3.0.7. While this setup works for most files, it fails on 
this large file (see log below).

I'm already trying to help rsync using "-P" to indicate that rsync 
should reuse the current copy and not trying to create a copy on the 
/tmp parition of the NAS.

Any hints what might be the problem?

Thanks
- Ben
