Why? I assume it is me in some manner.
What do I have to do to guarantee absolutely that any file/directory
from /home/richard is seen by destination system as owned by

find /home/richard -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
find /home/richard -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
chown -R richard /home/richard*;
chgrp -R richard /home/richard*;
[sigh] missed off the slashes
chown -R richard /home/richard/*;
chgrp -R richard /home/richard/*;
