rsync is skipping some files, permission problem

Hello Kevin,

you are right. As far as I found out by now, the problem
is not related to rsync at all, but to the way that the remote drive is
mounted to my filesystem. If I access the remote system by logging
on via ssh everything all files are there as expected.
Looks like a permission problem somewhere...

Kind regards,
Walter
