Ah, that helps. I was wondering about those numbers, because 436 files
would be a couple of terabytes.

When I ran the rsync command at a time when the Synology was unplugged
rsync added a lot of files to wherever it put them, and they were all in
alphabetical order. Rsync got through the As before failing. That is
164 movies, where each is a folder with the name of the movie, and
inside is the movie, usuallly as an MKV file. So all I need to do is
pick a movie file that starts with an A and it should work. I tried
several such movies, from /, from /media, and from /media/jjj, but all
I got was 'no such file or directory.'

Not sure what went wrong here.
