rsync - Oct 2002 - error in rsync protocol datastream(code12) at io.c(150)

Hi,
 I installed rsync-2.5.5 on both the boxes of redhat linux 7.3 and tried to
execute rsync

on box "A"

I have given command like below
     rsync -avz /tmp/*.jsp machineb:/home/domains/rsyncdir/
but I got this problem
   error in rsync protocol datastream(code12)  at io.c(150)
OpenSSH vesrion is
   OpenSSH_3.1P1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f

Do I need to upgrade OpenSSH to 3.4p1 

Any help greatly appreciated
Thks in advance
