rsync - Sep 2002 - rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c (887)

Hi all,
        Am new to the rsync world. The rsync command
producing the above error when it is invoked in following format

rsync --progress -avrlpt --stats -z --perms --times $rsyc_server_name
$folder_on_my_m/c.

After firing above command, lot of messages in the format
"send files failed to open $filname :permission denied" are dispalyed
,
some stats (which indicates no file is transfered)  displayed
and finally displayes above error message i.e.
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c (887)

Can any plz. throw some light on it.

Thanks in advance...

Th'x and Regards,
Sumit
