The only way you can have inconsistent ownership (without having root involved) is for you to have ommitted 'chown'ed the entire tree to the new user that is running rsync. This is needed to give that user full permissions to be able to change things (merely being able to write a file does not give you any permissions to change the permissions, for instance, and on some OSes, not even the permission to set an arbitrary timestamp). So, either run "chown -R new-user /dest/path" as root, or remove the tree as the old-user and recopy it as the new-user. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
