[YLUG] still got problem with rsync to NAS

[nigel white]

Hi Steve, thanks for this

I changed the script to

#!/bin/sh
RSYNC="rsync -avz"
sudo $RSYNC /home/nigel /mnt/x-backups/autobackup
sudo $RSYNC /etc /mnt/x-backups/autobackup

and ran it. It asked me for my password and then I got -

building file list ... rsync: readlink "/home/nigel/.gvfs" failed:
Permission denied (13)

In the permissions tab for .dbus I see that the owner is root. All
permissions are greyed out as "you are not the owner so you can't change
these permissions". Folder access for owner = create and delete files.
Folder access for group = none and others = none.

What now?

Best wishes
Nigel
