Backup fails because of a file that is not even into the source directory to be backed up sync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) #81

Description

@bjce

I am trying to backup the /User/user01/Library using rsync (via the linux-timemachine wrapper https://github.com/cytopia/linux-timemachine) to an external hard drive Volumes/name_of_backup logged in as user01. During the backup I get the following error message

rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at /System/Volumes/Data/SWE/macOS/BuildRoots/220e8a1b79/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/rsync/rsync-55/rsync/main.c(996) [sender=2.6.9]

What I don't understand is that the file /System/Volumes/Data/SWE/macOS/BuildRoots/220e8a1b79/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/rsync/rsync-55/rsync/main.c is not even located in the directory that I am trying to backup (namely /User/user01/Library). So why does this error appears? And most importantly how can I get rid of the problem?
