           Summary: rsync: failed to open "/path/to/file", continuing:
                    Permission denied (13)
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: peter.oliver at eon-uk.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


In the event that rsync encounters a file on the receiving end that it cannot
read, it will treat the file as if it is empty, try to replace it, and issue
the following message:

    rsync: failed to open "/path/to/file", continuing: Permission denied (13)

However, even if it succeeds it will also issue this messages:

    rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(789)

This leads the user (and any scripts checking the return code) to believe that
the transfer has failed, when in fact it has succeeded.
