I looked through the code and I don't see how the it can be returning
"Error 0" because the error message is always printed out right after a
system call which should have sett errno to something other than zero.
The signal 16 is SIGUSR1 sent from one rsync process to the other on the
receiving side after it has a problem. Do you happen to be using NFS on
those machines. That connection could be flaky. Rsync works best (most
efficiently and reliably) when it is copying to and from local disks on
each end.
