Change your rsync command around a bit.
(If you can show us the command you're using, we can make some
suggestions)
I would gather that you have a huge amount of files in the dir you're
syncing.
I was trying to do "rsync -a root@machine2:/somedirectory ."
There are multiple directories under the tree and yes many files.
also tried "scp -r root@machine2:/somedirectory ." with the same result
of too many files.

How about an explicit path for the destination to see if it is something in
your shell?
