Syncing an entire external drive - "fseventsd-uuid" not enough permission

I'm syncing an entire external hard drive.  this is critical to my workflow - i can't put it's files into a subfolder and just sync that folder.  

It's working, but i get errors about files that can't be synced because they're open or it doesn't have enough permission.  I think they are hidden files that refer to what files have changed over time.  sounds kind of important....

They have random file names, so i don't know how to exclude them.

check their paths (click on a file in that list), and if they are located in one subfolder, you can ignore it. 
Well, at least fseventsd-uuid will be in .fseventsd subfolder. Not sure about others, these even look like ipv6 addresses?

If you sync the whole drive, better also ignore  .Spotlight-V100, .Trash-1000, .Trashes ._.Trashes and all other hidden subfolders that OS X creates.
