interesting..... I recovered some files using tesstdisk. I tried to delete them and some of the wouldn't die (the ones I'm having problems with). My google for the swolution suggested I chown but that gave a similar error:

$ sudo chown bmike1 -R recup_dir.465/

chown: changing ownership of 'recup_dir.465/f46038464.elf': Input/output error

I forgot to mention I deleted those files on the source disk. This i the command I'm issuing:

rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/"Seagate Expansion Drive"

You potentially have corrupt files or problems with your disk. Use the fsck command to check files/file system and smartctl command to check the disk
