Hi Kip,
Here is the command which I use:-

rsync -h --progress --stats -r -tgo -p -D --update --delete-after 
--filter=protect .@__thumb --delete-excluded --exclude=**/*tmp*/ 
--exclude=**/*cache*/ --exclude=**/*Cache*/ --exclude=/mnt/*/** 
--exclude=/media/*/** --exclude=**/lost+found*/ --exclude=/var/run/** 
--exclude=/run/** --exclude=/proc/** --exclude=/dev/** --exclude=/sys/** 
--exclude=**/*Trash*/ --exclude=**/*trash*/ --exclude=.@__thumb 
--protect-args /home/alastair/mastermedia/Music/ 
admin@192.168.169.130:/share/Multimedia/Music/

I shall meanwhile change the EasyTAG preferences unchecking Preserve 
modification times and checking update parent directory and try again.
Many thanks for your help.
