Arrgh! grsync not working. Again
I'd like to use it daily for a limited number of my most commone directories. But I can't.
I'd especially like to use it for all common directories just before I travel. Can't do that either.
It was great when it finally started working, but no more. Now I choose a multi-job process, it finishes in less than a minute. When it first happened I thought I just hadn't changed that many files. But after a few times like that, I checked the destination drive -- and nothing had been updated. All old file dates.
I suppose this is related, maybe The cause, but I don't know what to do about it either.
I'm also getting errors mounting the NAS drive. Why? I haven't done anything to the system (besides try to use it). That had happened before but stopped "back in the day" and grsync started working. This was months ago and I forget the details.
I have a bookmark to the destination directory on the NAS, but I get the mounting error when I click on it. I can get onto the NAS by logging on with username/pswrd. I can look at all the directories on it in Nautilus. But rsync still does its false "success" thing.
What can I check?

The mounting error starts with header "Could not display "smb://[path]" and then "Error: Failed to mount Windows share: Invalid argument Please select another viewer and try again."

Use Your File Manager, Left Pane, Other Locations.
Add your Share as a Registered User. Login & Password.
Use the File Manager to drill down to your Location/Share.
It takes a long time. Open the "=>[Rsync Output:]" button to see the transfer.
