I've localised the problem with option -x down to openrsync alone:
$ mkdir /tmp/sync-from
$ touch /tmp/sync-from/foo.txt
$ openrsync --rsync-path=openrsync -r -x --delete /tmp/sync-from/
localhost:/tmp/sync-to
$ openrsync --rsync-path=openrsync -r -x --delete /tmp/sync-from/
localhost:/tmp/sync-to
openrsync: error: .: stat: No such file or directory
openrsync: error: poll: hangup
I haven't looked into --exclude yet.
