Did you capture rsync's output?
It should tell you exactly which file it could not deal with.

Tee the output and grep for error may give you info.

In addition to the problems Lisa mentioned, rsync also can choke on
linked files.

Subject: rsync error message

Tried rsync -av /home/username /media/disk for the first time. Every 
thing appeared to go well but there was an error message at the end:

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at 
main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]

Running "diff -r /home/holtzm /media/disk/home" returned nothing which 
indicates they are identical. The question is what files could not be 
transferred and is there a better way of checking?

Any help appreciated.
