Both hard-drives don't seem to have the same filesystem type (ext3 versus vfat): can it be due to this?</blockquote></div><br>Yes. Different filessystems have different rules for what characters they allow. An "Invalid argument" comes from outside of rsync, and means you need to figure out what the OS/filesystem doesn't like about the name. You can always try creating a file manually, for instance. However, I'm fairly sure that a double quote is not allowed by FAT filesystems.<br clear="all">
