Those errors are probably occurring from copying files from a
partition that supports permissions to a drive/partition with
something like a fat32 filesystem that does not support permissions.<br>
<br>
By changing the -a to a -r rsync simply copies the files instead of
trying to preserve all the permissions, so no errors.<br>

<div>in my search for an answer as to "why" I happened upon <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://howden.net.au/thowden/2011/02/rsync-windows-failed-invalid-argument-22/">this</a>.
(copied below for your convenience.) Their solution was to
change the archive tag (-a) to a recursive (-r) tag. What
about the other settings that -a preserves? <i> </i></div>
<div>However, it didn't work for me and I just noticed that what
rsync seems to be doing is taking all of the videos I have in
the folder "Darktable" and refusing to copy them and in the
error message appending the file name with a 6 character
string (.y4Qitq in the example shown).</div>
<div>Perhaps it is expecting a file type (.mp4 or something) and
when it doesn't find it creates it's own.</div>
