Everything I tried didn't work.
I even tried setting up the rsync backup (pull) to pull the entire share over. It copied maybe 8 or 12 folders by no files.
I tried making sure that the attributes / privs were set correctly and still no joy.
I then tried to push the one folder (<sharename>/outerfolder/desiredfolder) from the remote that I couldn't grab from (the naspro) to the newer nas (just an nv+) and this worked fine. The push of just that one inner folder over is still running and files are being copied.
Bottom line for me: rsync backup job PULL (source is nas pro, destination nv+) would not work no matter what I tried. Changing to PUSH (running on the nas pro TO the nv+ rsync backup job) seems to be running fine. I expect a dozen hours, but it's a runnin'
sheesh. at least it's copying...
