Thanks for the suggestion. Removing the -vv didn't help but I was able to narrow the problem down to one particularly large directory. rsync'ing individual subdirectories is working but is very cumbersome. Is there a consensus on what the best way to deal with this? I don't think memory usage is an issue, the server has 6 Gigs of ram and only 350 megs in use durring the process.
