I was having problems with rsync -av.. one year ago on an almost
identical system like you have. The unbelievable solution was to remove
the verbose options from rsync!!

Look here:

I didn't have any problem since then and I'm nightly syncing some
300'000 files via rsync.

You could give it a try.
