Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-5.1
Severity: normal

When using rsync to copy/sync files in my home directory onto a
usbstick, I get the following error-message for every single file (after
it has been copied):
rsync: chgrp "/media/disk/somefile" failed: Operation not permitted (1)

The problem appeared after upgrading from etch and is probably related
to the new behaviour of gnome-volume-manager (or gnome-mount?):
usbsticks (with FAT filesystem) are automatically mounted with the
following permissions:
$ ls -lh /media
drwxr-xr-x 35 daniel root  16K 1970-01-01 01:00 disk

In etch this used to be:
$ ls -lh /media
drwxr-xr-x 35 daniel daniel  16K 1970-01-01 01:00 usbdisk

(I also posted a similar bug report to gnome-mount, but got no answer.
cf. bug #450450)

cheers, Daniel
