Don't know if this is related to the problem you report, but your code is buggy.

You're checking errno before you know that splice() returned -1. Now,
I don't know the actual implementation, but as with most system calls,
the interface specifies only that errno is updated when the function
returns -1:

       "On error, splice() returns -1 and errno is set to indicate the
error." (man 2 splice)

You're also not checking explicitly for the return value 0, which
would possibly also not set errno (i.e. you're using perror() in the
case where splice() returned 0).

Please let me know if this fixes your problem!
