Need fix for rsync Error due to version mismatch

Shell Programming and Scripting
1 
rsync --delay-updates -F --compress --archive --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -t -a -x' /web/admin/Transfer/data/ user1@destserver1:/tmp/testf

rsync version on sender server is:3.0.9
rsync version on sender server is:3.0.6

 
 Linux sourceserver1 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 14 10:36:03 EST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux destserver1   2.6.18-426.el5 #1 SMP Wed Feb 7 11:05:23 EST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I do not have privilege to update rsync .

Can you please suggest some tweak How can i get rsync to work without getting the versions to match. Any chances ?

This minor version difference should not matter.

Probably a login script like .bashrc or .profile produces some output which confuses rsync. If so, eliminate this output at least for non interactive shells.
