I/O error when deleting files

[Dave Dykstra]

I suggest running truss -f -o trussfile before that command and look for
the error in the trussfile and see what's happening just before it.  Under
some circumstances rsync can print that message when a symlink goes
nowhere, but I'm not sure what the circumstances are.  Perhaps it does that
because you're using -x, I'm not sure.
