While I agree that rsync is excellent, I'm not sure this is the root of the problem. I've had the same thing when transferring files over SSH; generally rsync works better though, so I've never gone further to work out what's happening. I do know, though, that when I used to use samba for file sharing rather than SSH, samba was considerably more consistent (it was also faster due to lack of encryption, though I'm sure there's a way of speeding up SSH too).
