rsync - Jan 2005 - Rsync Error Code 23?

Hi All,

I have an error code 23 (shown below) which I can't debug:

  I am using:
$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.2  protocol version 28

Here's the command I execute:

rsync -av --delete /Users/mydir /Volumes/FireLite\ 60\ GB/backup/

After the transfer which apparently transfers the files correctly, I 
get the following error code:

wrote 2630815 bytes  read 200 bytes  78537.76 bytes/sec
total size is 9906336280  speedup is 3765.21
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at 
/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-14/rsync/main.c(633)

What is error code 23? Is this serious?  I have not seen any examples 
of running rsync as sudo, so I haven't tested that (out of fear!)


Cheers,        Tristan

Mixed into the verbose output should be one or more warnings about
either a file-access or a file-writing problem that prevented a file
from being updated.  Typically the warning is something like an access
permission not allowing the reading of a source file or directory,
however it might also be a read error when reading the file, which could
indicate a disk problem -- but that is usually not the case.  Finding
the error in the verbose output should tell you what's going on.

You should be able to to re-run rsync to see it again.  Note that if the
transfer is going to or from a daemon (which your command-line example
did not show, but I'll mention this just to be complete) that some
versions of rsync only put these warnings into the daemon logfile.
