Hmmmm ... the chown errors don't seem to be the cause of the failures. I removed --perms --group --owner, and the chown errors went away, but the sync still fails. > The "Skipping" message is ambiguous but I'm pretty sure this the cause. > Try removing the --safe-links option. > This is because you didn't specify --links.

Didn't help, but I think Wayne's analysis is correct; it's trying to chown the mount point, which only root can do. But, like I said, getting rid of the chown errors did not get rid of the code 23 failure. > What is the error message, exactly?

It appears to be happening on the "--delete"; that is, the transfer works fine but the delete fails. Will get --vvv output when I can run it again. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
