rsync: failed to set times on "directory" : No such file or directory (2)

Seemingly exclusively on symlinks when running with the flags rsync -avx

Some of the symlinks point to files in the same directory as the link, and some for example one in ~/.kde point to stuff like /run/user/1000/ksocket-username.

I don't see any reason why this error would arise.
Would be thankful for any tips.

Here are some examples:

rsync: failed to set times on "/home/username/dragon/backup/backup.tmp/.config/autostart-scripts/setxkb.sh": No such file or directory (2)

This link ist pointing at /home/username/setxkb.sh

rsync: failed to set times on "/home/username/dragon/backup/backup.tmp/vmd1.9.3/lib/vmd/libavcodec.so": No such file or directory (2)

This link is pointing at libavcodec.so.56.13.100 in the same directory.

I'm not sure on the reason of the error, but you can skip transferring times of symlinks using the -J option.

From the rsync man page:

-J, --omit-link-times

This tells rsync to omit symlinks when it is preserving modification times (see --times).
