per a bit of googling, it appears this may be a generic 2.6.8 error, as explained here... http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg16205.html
for what its worth, my local mirror server is actually a Sun ultrasparc running Solaris 10, with its built in rsync 2.6.8, which appears to be the same version as is running on the centos mirror servers.
What errors is the Sun logging?
