I suggest running truss -f -o trussfile before that command and look for the error in the trussfile and see what's happening just before it. Under some circumstances rsync can print that message when a symlink goes nowhere, but I'm not sure what the circumstances are. Perhaps it does that because you're using -x, I'm not sure.
