same to bug 1457, on HPUX 11i with ANSI/C compiler with largefile option. 
below rsync is on local file system.

First suggestion:  try running the command without the '*' (but with the
trailing '/') and see if it still fails.

Also, there is a helper script that might help you to debug what is happening:

http://rsync.samba.org/rsync-debug

Use it in a command like this:

rsync -av --rsync-path=/SOME/PATH/rsync-debug localhost:/prod1/* /prod1n/

(Some kind of host: is needed to get rsync to use the rsync-debug script.)

I don't know what the current status of this bug is, but I'm experiencing
similar behaviour trying to "emerge sync" with Gentoo's portage. I've seen it on
two different machines and only at home .. which may be important because at
home I have a commercial Hughes 1.2MB inbound 0.1MB outbound 750ms latency
satellite connection. When I bring the laptop to work and connect with a short
latency T3 I don't experience the problem. If you need additional info or can
suggest useful tests, I'd be happy to play around ..

This patch separates the daemon-mode's option parsing from the normal
client/server's option parsing.  It also separates the options in the usage
message (requiring the user to use "rsync --daemon --help" to see the daemon
options).

Lightly tested, including daemon mode over ssh.  Need to double-check option
parsing separation to ensure I didn't miss anything.

This was probably a case of the mkstemp() function not opening the file with
large-file support enabled.  The current code attempts to work around this by
using mktemp() and a large-file-supporting open() call when it thinks that this
is going to be a problem.  If you don't believe this analysis to be the case,
let me know.
