	Here is my current rsync file:

sudo rsync -auv --exclude-from=/home/karl/bin/exclude-list /
/media/disk-1/back/

It runs fine and there is much about nothing and then it quits 
with the below error.


sent 5000119 bytes  received 23627 bytes  76698.41 bytes/sec
total size is 18256953230  speedup is 3634.13
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see 
previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1058) [sender=3.0.5]
./mybackup: 6: /media/disk-1/back/: Permission denied

	It happens the location of the backup disk and the proper 
directory is /media/disk-1/back/. I have used cd and if I use 
cd filename /media/drive-1/back and it works just fine.

	I'm out of ideas.
