right you are. i missed it. i guess i am going to have to start reading what is
written and not listen to what i am thinking.

ok. i think i have my thinking synced with my reading now.
how about doing a redirect with rsync's output to a file so that you can go
back to it and read what is happening
in looking back thru 'man ln':
+++++
DESCRIPTION
In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME. In
the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in the current directory. In the
3rd and 4th forms, create links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY. Create
hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic. When creating
hard links, each TARGET must exist.
+++++
last line may be saying something. rsync is trying to create a hard link.
also,
+++++
-d, -F, --directory
allow the superuser to attempt to hard link directories (note:
will probably fail due to system restrictions, even for the
superuser)
+++++
tho this is 'directory' it is saying 'hard link', which you are trying to do.
and another reason to save rsync output. plus if you do not have to have hard
links...
also, check your logs. something could be showing up there.
