A) rdiff
You might use dircmp instead of rdiff to include the dot . files?
dircmp holtzcm /media/disk/home
B) rsync
1) rsync reports a code 23 when there's a problem with the
password file, even when the right password is supplied and files are
transferred.

2) Various versions of rsync/CVS included a bug that there was an issue with password file (Probably not your issue) reported as error 23.
3) Samba often reports a code 23 when issues occur for permissions.

4) rsync reports a code 23 when permissions for read only access do not match the owner running the sync job, irregardless of if all files are transferred.

> Tried rsync -av /home/username /media/disk for the first time. Every

>
> 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.
