No, I didn't, as according to the man page (and Dave's message) it
shouldn't affect much. Anyway, now I've tried, and it didn't affect.
OTOH, -z is equivalent to --compress, which I already used.

Neither. I'm not having i/o errors. Thanks to both for your ideas.
Moveover, I realised that I shouldn't be using --delete-exclude, as
I'm not interested in rsync deleting my local /proc, /dev, etc. So
I removed --delete-exclude, but it didn't work either.
What *did* make a difference is to rsync a single directory, and, thus,
not using any --exclude directory. Obsolete files (and directories) were
effectively removed:
rsync \
--verbose \
--verbose \
--verbose \
--stats \
--archive \
--relative \
--cvs-exclude \
--delete \
--delete-exclude \
--compress \
--rsh=ssh \

So, as a workaround, I may have to rsync each of the interesting
directories. However, my opinion is that this could be considered
a bug, that would be nice to be fixed.
Do you agree?
