rsync - Jun 2005 - rsync error: some files could not be transferred -- How to ignore

Hello all,

    I'm using rsync client in Linux box and cygwin rsync daemon in Win
2k machine. When i do transfer of directory contents "C:/Documents And
Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/Windows" using rsync, i'm getting the following error
through stderr.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
rsync: send_files failed to open "ion
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat" (in C:_Documents And
Settings_Administrator_Local Settings_Application
Data_Microsoft_Windows): Device or resource busy (16)

rsync: send_files failed to open "ion
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat.LOG" (in C:_Documents And
Settings_Administrator_Local Settings_Application
Data_Microsoft_Windows): Device or resource busy (16)

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(1045)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

    When i manually checked, the files UsrClass.dat and UsrClass.dat.LOG
are not accessible. Probably the error comes because of this.

Is there any way to ignore these errors when i do file transfer using
rsync?

Thanks,
Sanal

What do you mean by ignore?  They're just warnings, so rsync ignores
them already for most things, just not deletions that happen after the
warnings (such as --delete-after), but see the --ignore option to handle
that.  If you mean that your script halts, you can code a script to
ignore only specific return codes (namely code 23).  One would need to
know what shell you're using to help with that.
