I hate it when I have to admit defeat but I'm having trouble finding out a resolution to this issue. I'm trying to set up rsync from my linux box to an external drive mounted on a windows box. I mount the drive to /mnt/smb and can access it just fine. But when I attempt to rsync files, it looks like anything beyond one level of sub-directory gives me a permission denied error. At this point I'm trying a simple directory with a few files and some sub-directories in it. Here's the output: anthony@dell:~> rsync --verbose --progress --compress --recursive --delete-after --modify-window=1 /home/anthony/Documents/ /mnt/smb/ANTHONY/Dell/ building file list ... 34 files to consider .directory 1119 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=32/34) New Document.odt 0 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#2, to-check=31/34) New Spreadsheet.ods 2496 100% 2.38MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#3, to-check=30/34) Xen_user.pdf 274633 100% 4.59MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#4, to-check=29/34) virtualbox_1.6_UserManual.pdf 4171553 100% 6.41MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#5, to-check=28/34) Open Suse Documentation/ Open Suse Documentation/opensuse103.zip 32231072 100% 6.45MB/s 0:00:04 (xfer#6, to-check=26/34) Open Suse Documentation/pdfdoc/ rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/mnt/smb/ANTHONY/Dell/Open Suse Documentation/pdfdoc" failed: Permission denied (13) *** Skipping everything below this failed directory *** sent 36300507 bytes received 220 bytes 5584727.23 bytes/sec total size is 75139177 speedup is 2.07 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] anthony@dell:~> I've tried several different rsync strings, and get pretty much the same problems regardless of what I do.
