Ok I have fixed the execute permissions. It ran manually fine, so I'll see how it goes over the next few days on xsibackup-cron.

There is still the other question about the status emails. The subject line is:
subject: ✔ XSIBACKUP no errors detected in backup job | ESXi Backup Report.

The body is:
Done hot backup (id: unknown) using onediff (no compression)
Available room in device /vmfs/volumes/VM_Backups_d-nas02/xsi-backup before backup: 3919 Gb.
Sparse size on disk of the selected virtual machines: 934 Gb.
Needed room in device /vmfs/volumes/VM_Backups_d-nas02/xsi-backup for backup: 934 Gb.

I just went to look at the file listed in the error message (bin/xsibackup-rsync). I checked it in three different ESXi hosts, and each had a slightly different set of files and permissions, so maybe something is slightly broken there (?).
Server 1:
-rwx------    1 root     root         47064 Oct 24 22:57 dd

Server 2:

-rwx------    1 root     root       1708430 Oct 27 22:56 xsidiff

Server 3  is the one that seems to give me trouble--sometimes. I manually ran it earlier with no problems, but again just now with a failure:

Hello, thanks for looking in to this question.

I am running xsibackup as root.

As for previous errors in the log, this might be more informative:
[p-backuppc01] info: transfering snapshot file [p-backuppc01-000001-delta.vmdk]

I came here for this question, too. I have the exact same problem. Sometimes everything is ok, then sometimes it's not. The email subject line has "no errors detected" even if the email body lists errors and the KO! message.
