I used to update TeXLive 2009 successfully with this method, however I ran into the same error when updating TeXLive 2010. As I did not succeed and could not figure out what caused the error I installed minimals without problems. I suggest you install minimals and point the environment variable OSFONTDIR to your TeXLive tree. This adds only about 200MiB to your disk which is rather neglectable compared to the 2.7GiB of a full TeXLive.
I trust that minimals is what I was updating using with rsync and that it is a cut-down version of the ConTeXt distribution that came with TeXLive 2010.
Can I put minimals in $TEXMFHOME which is ~/texmf on my system? That seems to be the place where I can keep stuff newer than TeXLive 2010 without conflict. Can minimals function standalone, though, or will I run into mismatches with TeXLive 2010 again?
Also, should OSFONTDIR then point to /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/ or to something else?
