That just means that the remote side exited or disconnected before the
run was finished.  It looks like you've replaced the ping command with
/bin/true.   Does that mean there is something unusual about your
network that keeps ping from working?   If you go through a NAT
gateway or statefull firewall, rsync copies of large unchanged file
sections may let the connection time out because it appears idle.
