If it was a snake.... Thanks!  That error is gone now.   New ones 
appeared though:

rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("Pictures/...[snip].../DSC00948 
(1)/DSC00948.JPG","user.com.apple.ResourceFork") failed: No space left 
on device (28)

There certainly is space left - about 130GB.  Inodes aren't used up 
either and other files continues to copy after this.  While I haven't 
found the exact cause of the error, in my search I did find some 
suggestions that XFS is a better choice for backing up from HFS+, so I 
tried that and this error disappeared.

This one remains though:

rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("Pictures/...[snip].../IMG_0960 
(2)/IMG_0960.tiff","user.com.apple.ResourceFork") failed: Argument list 
too long (7)
rsync: rsync_xal_set: 
lsetxattr("Pictures/...[snip].../Image0001.TIF","user.com.apple.ResourceFork") 
failed: Argument list too long (7)
rsync: rsync_xal_set:

Thanks
Kay
