It failed, but I think that message means that your previous run also 
failed but was kept as a partial.  With the rsync/rsyncd methods, 
subsequent runs can keep the existing partial and add more files, but 
smb and tar have to start over from scratch and since this run did not 
get as many files as the earlier failed/partial it was discarded. You 
might want to look at the error log for the run to see if you can tell 
why it is not completing.
