rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(620)

It would be MUCH better if the warning would indicate where the error was
LOCAL or REMOTE and WHICH specific thing it had problems with. "." is VERY
ambigious in this case since we're dealing with multiple directories both
local and remote. Otherwise, everything gets uploaded properly contrary to
the error message at the end.
