rsync errors

[TheDreadPirate]

Try switching to root and run the command, which is how I do my backups. Having said that, I ran the rsync as my user with sudo and didn't have any issues.

You'd also need to use sudo for the tar since the -p option preserves the ownership and permissions of the original files when copying them.

Also, I'm assuming you own /jellydata, correct? I ran my rsync test in my home directory without issue.
