FYI - RHL 6.1 is no longer supported - from a Red Hat
perspective that is :-( See the Red Hat "Errata: Security
Alerts, Bugfixes, and Enhancements" page here

You may indeed get help here since this list is an rsync
list. If I knew what your problem might be I'd try to
help you myself, but I don't so hopefully someone else will
chime in with some ideas for you to try.
One question I do have is what version of rsync is
running on the ftp server? Also, if you know the exact
file it gets stuck on, how big is that file?
