[BackupPC-users] Rsync error

This isn't exactly related to the BackupPC software, but I do think it is 
related to the file structure in the pool managed by BackupPC.

Every few hours or so, I backup the backuppc server to a usb drive for disaster 
recovery purposes. The command I use to do this is as follows:

rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times 
--block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761 --exclude /dev --exclude 
/lost+found --exclude /media --exclude /mnt --exclude /proc --exclude /selinux 
--exclude /sys --exclude /tmp --exclude /var/spool/squid / 
/media/mybackup/backupserver

Recently, rsync logged the following error:

rsync: hlink.c:533: finish_hard_link: Assertion `(((unsigned char 
*)(node->data))[0]) == 0' failed.
rsync: link 
"/media/mybackup/backupserver/opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost/269/f%2f/fhome/fe-smith/ffiles/fibays/fmyfiles/ffiles/fTemp/fDocuments
 and Settings/fmyuser/fLocal Settings/fTemporary Internet 
Files/fContent.IE5/f0569YGRM/f0320030CAMGFVO6.png" => 
opt/backuppc/files/cpool/9/9/8/998223d15111740fa1dbd67ef377cde7 failed: Too 
many links (31)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (2815659 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) 
[sender=3.0.6]

The file system in use is ext3. Is this something I need to be concerned about? 
If so, how do I fix issues like this? Yes, I know that it in the Temporary 
Internet Files folder used by IE. Company policy is to back up that directory 
for forensic reasons.
