Input/Output error 5 ?

[Michael W. Cocke]

What, exactly, does "input/output error 5" mean?  (Yes I googled it, but
  all I can find is a lot of people getting the error, not what it means).

I've been using rsync on and off for years with a half-dozen distros,
and suddenly I'm having problems I've never seen before.

Thanks!

Typically, that there is something wrong with the filesystem or the
disk, which is out of rsync's control.
