You can rsync the corrupted file back to the other machine, and
compare the files there.
I use the following command to compare binary files:

$ diff -u <(hexdump -C file1) <(hexdump -C file2)

If the difference is only in a few bits, then it is likely a memory
error. If there are whole blocks of 0x00 or 0xFF then it might be a
disk error.
