I just noticed that the main directory is 247GB, but the remote copy is 354GB.
I assume rsync can cause the extra files on the remote to be deleted?
You may want to use -H; if you back up a system that contains hardlinked files that'll save you from duplication on the receiver side.
Just to second Peter's opinion. Investigate the hard links. I have had exactly this issue when using rdiff-backup and rsync together. My guess was there seems to be some difference between the way rsync and librsync behave.
