For me, the primary issue was caused by the extended attributes on OS X, specifically by those put in by the program 'Speed Download', which is no longer made (http://www.yazsoft.com/ - states out of business). But I did think that rsync was patched to handle OS X's extended attributes.

I too get the same error. I think my issue is related to the extended attributes of the files. There are couple other threads abt extended attributes causing trouble out there. Example below. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=28484.0 I was kind of wondering why not do the "--remove-source-files" flag for rsync when moving them over. when I run rsync -avX --partial --dry-run "/mnt/disk8/" "/mnt/disk9/" from telnet I get lots of errors However when I run rsync -av --partial --dry-run "/mnt/disk8/" "/mnt/disk9/" No errors. I'm thinking about just manually doing this one, with rsync -rhut --progress --stats --remove-source-files "/mnt/disk8/" "/mnt/disk9/" any reason I shouldn't just use that command?
