It's rsync! The new version does not like to work with the old one.
I had the same problems. After I upgraded my Ubuntu server (running VMs) from LTS 20.04 to LTS 22.4.1. Since then the backups using rsync of the VMs (max file size 6.2 GB) to the backup server (Debian 10) failed. Intern (within the Ubuntu file tree) rsync still works fine.
The rsync error always occurred at the large file (max 6.2 Gb).
After I upgraded my Debian from 10 (buster) to 11 (bullseye) I had a new version for rsync:
apt-cache policy rsync
rsync:
Installed: 3.2.3-4+deb11u1
Candidate: 3.2.3-4+deb11u1
Version table:
*** 3.2.3-4+deb11u1 500
