I found at least part of the problem. During remodeling work apparently
the power plug to the Synology disk station was unplugged. Thus, when
rsync tried to sync the Mediasonic USB drive to the Synology it failed.
But at least a couple of times recently I ran the command manually
(Instead of waiting for cron to do it at 2am), and I watched in the
terminal as it did so. It copied a lot of movies from the USB, and then
failed. Now I know why it failed.
The part I don't know is where rsync put those files. They are
somewhere in /media, because the du command listed /media as having
56GB.
jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/$ cd /media
jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media$ ls -la

According to ls there are 16 files in /media and 436 files
in /media/jjj. Why do they not appear when I use 'ls -la'? I also tried
as root, but got the same output. And for what it's worth, Thunar (Xfce
GUI file manager) also does not display them.
