Rsync backup job reports false success
After taking on the 6.10.4 firmware update on both local and remote NAS boxes, my daily rsync-over-ssh backup job reports a false success. It returns immediately, but no files are transferred or upd...

This has been reported already. For now the best thing to do is drop back to 6.10.3.
Would be nice with some kind of update from Netgear on this, though.

Agreed. It happens on every system, so there's no issue with them reproducing it.
Is it necessary to downgrade both the sending and receiving machines to 6.10.3 or can I, for example, only downgrade the sending machine?
You need to downgrade the one running the backup. So if it's a "push" job, the sender. If a "pull", then the receiver.
I downgraded to 6.10.3 on the sending machine, and the problem went away.
Any word on a real fix for this issue? I noticed that one of my other machines, an RN214, took on a "hotfix update" to 6.10.4, but I could not find any release notes for this. Does this hotfix properly resolve the issue?
