user_xattr and rsync error 23 or 95

[AndrewWArchLinux]

I'm trying to rns from an ubuntu 14 system to my GFH, whilst it works I get error 23 (about change attributes) if i dont use the rsync --fake-super option. If i do then i get sync error 95. The fix seems to be adding the user_xattr to the GFH mount entry in fstab.
I have don't this (although it appears to be set by default). The filesystem is ext4
The mount options in fstab are
/dev/sda2 /mountpoint ext4 rw,relatime,acl,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

when the fs is mounted it looked to be mounted as
/dev/sda2 on /mountpoint type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)


The rsync command are
sync -aAv /source /NASpath
gives error 23

or
sync -aAv --fake-super /source /NASpath
gives rsync: failed to write xattr user.rsync.%stat for "": Operation not supported (95)
Any idea how to fix

Thanks

Add it to the filesystem options directly, and for giggles, try remounting with them (-o remount,xxxx)
