Thanks.... I decided to reformat it and rsync it all again. And it isn't giving me any errors (yet). I am formatting it ntfs. Can I do fsck.ntfs or would I just do ...vfat? What about for a reminder? Could I put, "rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/SDULTRA64 *unmount sudo fsck.ntfs /dev/sdc" or do comments not work in this case?

This is not correct. You run fsck on the device, not the mount point. Find out what the device node is (probably /dev/sdX1 where X is a lowercase letter which is not a. Try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/" to get a listing), then umount the device, then run fsck on it.

fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /media/bmike1/SDULTRA64

And it's guessing the filesystem type incorrectly. "fsck.vfat" may work better once the device is umounted. If your automounter tries to mount it, turn the automounter off (and leave it off, those things are useless.)
