from what I understand by reading Linkname: Buffalo network-attached storage series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_network-attached_storage_series it is Linux based, so it should have a syslog, so it is quite possible that its syslog can be configured for remote logging (in combination with a configuration of your local syslog on debian to accept logs from that server) However, that link also says that the device supports NFS, so I would use NFS insted of cifs If you still want to use cifs, Linkname: mount.cifs(8) - Linux man page URL: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.cifs says (with an example) that there is a --verbose option; this might be useful to obtain debug information. > but why does the same /etc/fstab entry > > //192.168.178.27/candj /mnt/candj cifs > user,noauto,credentials=/etc/cred,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 > > give completely different results on different machines? quite probably there is a difference between the two machines (something in /etc/ ? the cifs kernel module ? some other package ? the way that the "server" treats the two machines and their users ?) In any case this is the reason I asked for debugging info in the logs. > Especially when I explicitly give the uid and gid, these seem to be > is ignored when mounting. the man page I cited above explains that uid "is ignored when the target server supports the CIFS Unix extensions."

Perhaps, try this: rsync -avz /home/user/music/Adriano*/Esco* /mnt/share/TEST1 Perhaps, you could try with filenames with only "ordinary" alphanumerical characters in them (are the spaces really spaces, or some other nonprintable character which might have problems with iocharset mapchars options of man mount.cifs ?) > Esco di rado e parlo ancora meno/ > rsync: failed to set times on "/mnt/share/TEST1/Esco di rado e parlo ancora > meno": Operation not permitted (1) "failed to set times" is a quite strange error.
