Yes, that is the problem you really need to solve.   Why is your
connection breaking before the remote rsync exits?   A 'parallel' ssh
would not necessarily do the same thing where session timeouts are
involved.  Might be worth snooping with tcpdump/wireshark at both ends
to see if they both end up waiting or if something has sent a reset.

I'm not sure if the xfer always has the same ordering - maybe it is
just hitting different files first.  Are you seeing files logged that
already exist in the partial copy?
