The simple matter of permissions is often the problem.  This kind of problem
has cropped up for me before over an upgrade (not yet with Debian though).

Also, what exactly is the error message?  Can you increase its verbosity
so's to examine that as well?

In case you deleted my original post, the error message is:

  rsync: mkdir "/media/cf0a98ed-3c11-4107-b61e-f5139d024396/Jessie-laptop"
  failed: No such file or directory (2)
  rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(674) [Receiver=3.1.1]

I already had verbosity turned on except I believe that refers to the list of files as they're
backed up. Not sure how to expand an error message, or even if that's possible.

Permissions are 700 for the executable file.

I'm snowed. Any other ideas?


Can you do at the cli

'mkdir "/media/cf0a98ed-3c11-4107-b61e-f5139d024396/Jessie-laptop"'

as the same user as runs rsync?
