Well if you set your verbosity higher you can at least tell where the
error is happening.  I have no idea when an error '[Errno 6] Device
not configured' is raised---perhaps the circumstances are particular
to your OS.

So I would try raising your verbosity to see which file caused the
problem.  If it happens all the time on the file because it is not a
normal data file or is corrupted somehow, you could --exclude it from
your backups.
