export-format error when trying to upload .mid file

So I'm trying to copy a .mid file to my Drive, but it fails:

~$ rsync -ahv --inplace Music/Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.mid drive/music/Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa5.mid 
sending incremental file list
Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.mid
rsync: open "/home/dan/drive/music/Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa5.mid" failed: Input/output error (5)

It ends up creating the file in Drive, but it has size 0. This is what I think is the relevant part of the log:

And I realized quickly when I knew I should, that when I upload the same file without ending the name in .mid (by not using the --inplace option in rsync), it works. For whatever that means.

And so I put the full log on Gist just to get it all out, what's in my terminal, and I am feeling this is a little peculiar.

And I say heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa, heyyeyaaeyaaae. I said hey, what's going on?
