Doug: you're not doing anything wrong, from your description. You'll
find that if you change the mode on a file on the source that's already
identical to its counterpart on the destination, that change will be
propogated as well. Changing mode of a directory has no effect on the
modes of its contents, so there was nothing to do to the files in the dir.
That two-way sync you're doing is a bit dangerous, in most circumstances.
On the surface, it makes sense that the most-recently updated file is the
one you want. In most situations where someone wants that, it's possible
to have changes made on both sides, whereby he who saves last wins, and he
who saves first gets his changes discarded. Is that ok in your situation?

Subject: Permissions Problems
Classification:
I'm trying to synch 2 directories and, using the example from the FAQ, my
commands look like this:
rsync -auqz directory1 remoteserver:/test
rsync -auqz remoteserver:/directory1 /test
If I change a directory's permissions and/or timestamp on the remote
server
the 1st rsync command changes it back to match the source. Files, however
are unaffected and only get updated if newer. For example:
(On remote server)
drwxr-x--- 2 root sys 512 Jan 17 11:16 test/
(On source server)
drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 178 Jan 17 10:36 test/
After the 1st command is run both directories look like the source server.
If I were to switch these around it works fine.
What I am doing wrong???
Doug
