Title: chown errors?
Hi--

I just tried my first rsync operation. I got a couple of errors I don’t understand. Could someone explain what might be happening here?

Please know that I am working in rsync for Mac OS 10.4, which includes a few odd options discussed in previous posts.

The original command was:

time rsync -a -v -e ssh /'Applications' '/Volumes/Firewire 400/Test' --eahfs --showtogo --update

The output for the part reporting the error was:

chown "/Volumes/Firewire 400/Test/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app/Contents/Plug-ins/PictureTasks.acroplugin/PictureTasks" failed: No such file or directory
Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app/Contents/Plug-ins/PictureTasks.acroplugin/PictureTasks -> Versions/A/PictureTasks
chown "/Volumes/Firewire 400/Test/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app/Contents/Plug-ins/PictureTasks.acroplugin/Resources" failed: No such file or directory


When I looked in the source directory, I saw that all files in the directory were both present, but were what are called “aliases” to Mac users, “shortcuts” to Windows users.

Are these considered linked files or are they some other breed altogether?

All My Best,
Jeffrey
