I used to update TeXLive 2009 successfully with this method, however I ran into the same error when updating TeXLive 2010. As I did not succeed and could not figure out what caused the error I installed minimals without problems. I suggest you install minimals and point the environment variable OSFONTDIR to your TeXLive tree. This adds only about 200MiB to your disk which is rather neglectable compared to the 2.7GiB of a full TeXLive.
I trust that minimals is what I was updating using with rsync and that it is a cut-down version of the ConTeXt distribution that came with TeXLive 2010.
The word minimal refers to a minimal tex distribution and it started as a small subset of tex live: only context, some fonts and a few binaries. They were zips at our website till Mojca cum suis turned it into a nicely syncable whole. So, there is overlap between the minimals and tex live but normally the minimals have newer files (tex, fonts, binaries).
