Are all of the user:group permissions consistent in that folder? I bet one of the subfolders in there is owned by root, and causing rsync to get stuck when you run as a normal user.
Ben, No. I changed all user.group to rshepard.users.
and then try your rsync command again, do you still get the same error? I would not be surprised if you have something in there that is owned by root, and therefore not writable by your normal user.
If so, it's not visible. I've progressed from this after fixing ownership. Now the problem is how many files are being downloaded. rsync starts building the files list and when it exceeds 100K I kill the process. I want only the slackware64-14.2 files, not the entire slackware history. I've an exclude-file list for all directories other than the one I want and pass that filename to rsync using --exclude-using=<filename>.
