The "-a" option (the "--links", "--perms", "--devices", and "--times" options are redundant, as they, as well as "--owner", "--group", and "--recursive" are implied by "-a" )does dictate that permissions on files being sent be brought over from the source. Are all files losing permissions, or only files being skipped because they are newer than those on the source (because -f the "-u" option)? Root privilege is irrelevant to preservation of permissions. Root privilege is needed only to do things regular users cannot, such as changing ownership, overriding privileges, etc..
