rsync -ahzv --delete --progress --numeric-ids --ignore-errors "/Users/bonny/Music/iTunes Music" "rsync://[email protected]/musica/iTunes Music"
I am guessing that your iTunes Music folder is well 50MB. As such, testing with a smaller directory will reduce the time it takes for rsync to run. It will also allow you to use the verbose options while keeping the output to a minimum.
So, why not setup a test environment? Make a test directory on your MacBook (eg: /tmp/mytestsrc) and also create a test destination directory on the NAS.
Next, make some directories within the source test directory on your MacBook. Then, manually populate these source directories with some test files. Finally, try to copy the test source directory over to your NAS device using rsync. If this initial sync works, then I suggest that you remove some items to the test source directory, run rsync a second time and check the results are as you expect.
If you are not able to get this test case working, then post the command and output from the rsync command to the list. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you with why it is not working.
I would also suggest that you add the option "-vvv" when you run rsync so you are provided with more feed back while rsync is running. Hence the test setup.
Finally, I recommend that once you are able to see the files changing, that you use "ls -l" to check the ownership, timestamps and permissions are being transferred correctly.
