Update.  I thought about just using Dolphin to play with the directory
that's actually on the NAS.  I could create folders and files just fine
with Dolphin.  Well, isn't that interesting.  Finally I found a comment
with google that gave me a clue.  I needed to change the options I use
with rsync plus it appears on my computer, I need to su to dale, same
user as on NAS.  Now it works.  I can rsync my files over. 

Then I noticed something else.  The network card in the NAS box, it's a
old 100MB card.  Has anyone ever poured cold molasses before?  Does
waiting on leap year sound familiar?  ROFL  Just saying. 

Hey, at least I got the silly thing to work, slowly, but works.  :/
