I also tried it with the -v option and noticed that the failure seems to happen while copying very large files such as .iso images.

I tried a similar situation on my machine here, even without the slashes, and it works. (doesn't give the desired result without the slashes, but it doesn't give errors). Something is broken on your machine... either rsync or something in those files. Can you copy that directory using cp -par ??
