it chokes when it gets to the .wine folder - I/O error on every single file

Not terribly likely...
What filesystem is your backup volume?
Does it allow filenames that start with . ?
i.e. does
touch /media/Portable/backup/.foobar
succeed?
It's formatted to ext3 and does support .file filenames. I didn't
really expect it to be Wine's fault - it's just the fact that it's only
happening when rsync gets to .wine that planted the seeds of doubt - I
just wanted to make certain before I started poking into my filesystems.
Many thanks,
David
