Mark Knopfler must be pissed

My little iTunes backup script is having problems with one particular file, or so it seems.

#!/bin/sh 

NICE="/usr/bin/nice -n +19" 
RSYNC='/usr/bin/rsync'
ITUNES_DIR='/Volumes/data2/esteban/Music/iTunes/'
SEAGATE_ITUNES_DIR='/Volumes/OsX/Users/esteban/Music/'

$NICE $RSYNC -aE -vv --delete --progress --exclude="toAdd" $ITUNES_DIR $SEAGATE_ITUNES_DIR

# EoF #

It started to print this error message:

BTW, I hate that song, I am completely fed up of it, the same goes for 'Money for nothing'; the best one, IMHO, is 'Brothers in arms'.
