well, yes, a vague one. A while back someone traced something like this down to a corrupt attrib file. I've been trying to find the time to write a script that does some sanity checking on attrib files but haven't gotten around to doing it so far. I'm also not completely sure what could be checked, but a closer look at the attrib structure should clear some of that up. I'll have a look at it now, but I can't promise anything (least of all that it's actually your problem :-). If I don't post anything within 48 hours, I won't for at least a week ...

Does only one client > at a time transfer? No. This seems to be the same (kind of) problem. If I remember correctly, the rsync child process is forked after the file list has been generated, which would mean generating the file list does not complete (which is consistent with what I remember of the report on the corrupt attrib file).
