The problem is that rsync can't tell beforehand that it won't be able to write to any of the files, and transferring files happens pipelined so that errors on previous files may appear after transmitting the next file has already started. This is part of the optimalization of rsync to make it as fast as possible. However, the current 2.6.4 version should correctly report errors about the transfer of the files, so that the user shouldn't get the idea that the files were transmitted.
