That error message means that one of the source files/directories rsync was asked to copy did not exist. This most likely indicates a problem with the Portage tool that is invoking rsync, so it's odd that the problem would appear when you upgraded rsync. Please provide the full rsync command line that is being invoked and check whether the source files referenced actually exist. If so, there may be an rsync issue we can help with; if not, it is up to the Gentoo people to fix the Portage tool.
