I've localised the problem with option -x down to openrsync alone:

    $ mkdir /tmp/sync-from
    $ touch /tmp/sync-from/foo.txt
    $ openrsync --rsync-path=openrsync -r -x --delete /tmp/sync-from/ localhost:/tmp/sync-to
    $ openrsync --rsync-path=openrsync -r -x --delete /tmp/sync-from/ localhost:/tmp/sync-to
    openrsync: error: .: stat: No such file or directory
    openrsync: error: poll: hangup

I haven't looked into --exclude yet.
