I am trying to do the sync over an SSH connection.

When I remove it:
rsync --debug=ALL root@marketing.propfinancing.com:/var/www/svnDumps
/cygdrive/c/Tmp

I still get the error:
opening connection using: ssh -l root marketing.propfinancing.com
rsync --server --sender -e.LsfxCIvu . /var/www/svnDumps  (10 args)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226)
[sender=3.1.3]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]

[Receiver=3.2.4dev]
[Receiver] _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=228): about to call
exit(12)

Thanks,
  Neil
