Not easily, since the error messages indicating different kinds of failure for a given file don't follow a standard pattern. Some approaches: 1. Write a humongous sed script to match all the error messages and extract the filenames. 2. Use --log-file, and look at what files are *not* itemized in the log. (Most failures, but evidently not certain attribute-related failures, will cause a file to be omitted from the log.) 3. The most pragmatic approach: rerun rsync with --dry-run and look at which files are still itemized as different.
