IO error causing file deletion failure?

[Morgan Read]

Hello List

I've been running this command, with the accompanying error:
[root at mythtv ~]# ssh -t rsync at 192.168.1.40 sudo rsync -avzAXH
--delete-after -e /home/rsync/bin/rsync_ssh /home/
root at 192.168.1.100:/mnt/bigdisk/morgansmachine/home
root at 192.168.1.100's password:

done
morgan/.gconfd/
morgan/.gconfd/saved_state
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]
Connection to 192.168.1.40 closed.
[root at mythtv ~]#

The script is:
exec ssh -i /home/rsync/.ssh/id_dsa "$@"

If anyone is able shed some light on either the error or why it might
prevent deleting files I could save on harddrives:)

A little bg:
I moved this harddrive from an old and now retired machine, it didn't
show this error then.  The old machine was running f8 while the new one
is running f12?

Many thanks,
M.
