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>.

Thanks,

Rich
