This merely tries to execute itself as root.

sudo /usr/bin/rsync "$@"

does execute rsync as root according to the sudo log entry.  But I still
get only a partial transfer.  I suspect that some non-root shell
environment values are leaking through to rsync which is causing the
failure.  Basically the difference between:

su

su -

While it may be possible to get the latter behavior from sudo, the sudo
man pages are a miserable affair.
