[CentOS] rsync versioning problem

I seem to have an rsync versioning problem.

The sender is an old ClearOS6 server with rsynv 3.0.6 The receiver is a brand new Centos7-armv7 server with rsync 3.1.2

I am running rsync over ssh

Got the error:

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6]

And researching this it comes down to a versioning issue.  But all I have found was to upgrade the 3.0.6 system!  That will happen when I migrate to ClearOS7!

Is there some option to specify to get this to work?

rsync -ah --stats --delete -e "ssh" /var/flexshare/shares x.htt-consult.com:/media/backup/homebase/var/flexshare/shares/
