Hi Udo,

On the boxes you are trying to backup, did Rsync just get updated to 
version 2.6.7-1?

# rsync --version

There seems to be a problem with Rsync 2.6.7-1. See the recent thread 
from this list with subject: "Rsync 2.6.7-1 (fileListReceive failed)".

You can get the previous version of Rsync from packages.debian.org 
(search stable for rsync) and then force a downgrade of Rsync:

# dpkg -i <old-version-of-rsync.deb>

Then when its fixed you can just apt-get upgrade it as usual.
