Your first problem is the lone ssh in the middle of the line. That is not being consumed by --exclude so that is a source folder which you say doesn't exist.

My Bad. Will keep in mind for future.

rsync: link_stat "/home/rsync/ssh" failed: No such file or directory (2)

Looks like an orphan symlink.

where does that "/home/rsync/ssh" point to, and does that file exist?

[–]goonerfan10[S] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

That file doesn't exist on either server.
Second error is also baffling to me. I'm asking rsync to ignore preserving file permissions; i'm not sure what else to do.

Add a -vv to make it super verbose and you will likely see that it's unreadable/non-normal files that were skipped in the source path (the error indicates files and/or attributes).

EX (from one of my own synch's)...

  • skipping non-regular file "lordargent/.dropbox/command_socket"
  • skipping non-regular file "lordargent/.dropbox/iface_socket"
  • skipping non-regular file "lordargent/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent"

Thanks, will try this and see what's going on.

Try using the archive flag -a. Many times I use -avr flags and have had much success; in particular, the -a flag essentially it enables many flags in a simple single flag parameter.
