Hi All,

I have an error code 23 (shown below) which I can't debug:

  I am using:
$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.2  protocol version 28

Here's the command I execute:

rsync -av --delete /Users/mydir /Volumes/FireLite\ 60\ GB/backup/

After the transfer which apparently transfers the files correctly, I 
get the following error code:

wrote 2630815 bytes  read 200 bytes  78537.76 bytes/sec
total size is 9906336280  speedup is 3765.21
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at 
/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-14/rsync/main.c(633)

What is error code 23? Is this serious?  I have not seen any examples 
of running rsync as sudo, so I haven't tested that (out of fear!)


Cheers,        Tristan
