After struggling a couple days, I finally figured out what was creating the following errors two Synology NAS boxes that backup each other through a sonic wall vpn.
Error Messages:

After turning off jumbo frames as suggested here:

Lengthening the Sonicwall TCP timeouts on the VPN tunnels as suggested here:

I finally came across this post that suggested that Sonicwall’s Intrusion Prevention System identifies rsync as a low level risk threat.

After disabling IPS on the LAN zones on both firewalls the backup ran as expected.
