That is to be expected. All that means is that one or more
files were not able to be transferred. It is necessary to
go through the output of rsync to identfy which files had
errors.
On a windows system open files will produce that condition
and a running windows box will have some system files open
at all times.
If you want to avoid that problem reboot the system onto a
live CD and mount the windows filesystem. I just confirmed
that knoppix does have rsync and expect most of the other
live CD distros do as well.
