I seem to have resolved this by removing the /media/nate directory and letting it be recreated when mounting the flash drive again.

The directory under that looks better as before I could not even do an ls of the /media/nate directory: $ ls -l /media/nate/ drwx------ 31 nate nate 12288 Dec 31 1969 B6A0-ED18/ The output from mount is the same. I can now read and write to the flash drive. It appears the trailing '+' hints at extended attributes/ACL that rsync didn't copy over when I copied the system to this hard drive. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
