This is what I wanted to see: the destination filesystem is not letting
rsync set directory mtimes.  There is nothing rsync can do about this.
If you want to preserve directory mtimes, you'll need to access the NAS
in a different way, preferably by rsync over ssh or an rsync daemon.  If
you don't care about directory mtimes, use -O to avoid the error
messages.
