Since the most likely culprit (after aliens) is the encrypted rsync remote, here is the remote.log. I've replaced
sensitive information with variables in double curly braces

    {{uuid}} = cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} {{url}}= name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1345706291.523459s
    {{uuid}} = cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} {{url}}= name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1482178826.391400069s
    {{uuid}} = cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} {{url}}= name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1482742412.058733547s
    {{uuid}} = cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} {{url}}= name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1482742686.603751605s
    {{uuid}} cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1343199142.018003s
    {{uuid}} cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1343199310.53916s
    {{uuid}} cipher={{cipher}} cipherkeys={{keyid}} name={{name}} rsyncurl={{url}} type=rsync timestamp=1343486259.34504s

Here {{uuid}} is the uuid of the encrypted rsync remote. It's odd that there are several lines for the same remote, and not all in the same format.
Could this be a PEBKAC involving a misconfigured rsync remote?
