[ubuntu-nz] rsync not working

[Jeff Hunt]

Hi Reinhold,
this group is not much used and you may not get a useful answer. The
rsync site or ubuntu bbs would probably be better, but who knows.....
My reaction is that I can't see where /booboo-2013 is coming from. What is that?
Also I wonder about /my music/. I would expect that the space has to
be escaped eg my\ music.

Have a look at
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/other-forums/development/programming-scripting/413334-help-rsync-error.html

which appears to be the same problem and claims to be solved.

All the best.
