I am trying to dig into my rsync backup problems.
It would appear that for some reason rsync is getting I/O errors when copying maildir files.
I have done some tests on one particular directory, "cp -R" succeeds but "rsync -r" fails:-
OK - have you tried removing the directory then using rsync -a rather than -r? Also, is the top level directory that you're backing up to set to have the sticky bit set (cos that'd break it)... and as it appears to be having problems opening the files for write, you *are* root when running the rsync, right? And you have tried editing one of the files to see if you get and IO failure on it, right?
