Rsync freezes?


I'm trying to use rsync to synchronize files from Mint to Raspbmc. The files are going from Mint to Raspbmc. I'm using the following line:
Code:
rsync -rdtvu --delete -e "ssh -p 22 -i /path/to/key" /storage/location/ user@host:/second/storage/location/
It returns
Code:
sending incremental file list
Video/iPlayer/
Video/iPlayer/Formula_1_-_2013_The_Canadian_Grand_Prix_Forum_b0339znp_default.mp4"
where it just hangs for ages. I checked the hard drive attached to the Pi and the file it's trying to send doesn't appear there.

The directory it's trying to write to has read and write permissions. If I create a really small file, i.e a text file and rsync it works fine. What might I be doing wrong or what can I change to fix this?

Thanks

Add the --progress option to rsync to see if it really hangs or if it just really slow.

Oh, how awfully embarrassing. It was indeed just very slow.
Code:

Thank you once again. I must say, this one of the many reasons as to why I love Linux. Fantastic community.
