Have you looked at the man pages (man rsync)? You are using version
2.6.3,
and the manual will tell you that the --no-o and --no-g options are not
available (they were added at a later version).
The manual will also tell you that the -a option is equivalent to -
rlptgoD .
So you should try the other option that Matt has already suggested:

If you mean you want destination files to take on the user/group of
the
receiving rsync process instead of the source user/group, then simply
omit the -og options
So instead of subtracting the owner/group options from -a by using -a
--no-o --no-g , you could just leave out the -o and -g options and
use -rlptD
(instead of -rlptgoD ). (This also means the -r in the -arv you
listed is not
necessary because it is already included in -a .)
So try: rsync -rlptDv --files-from=...
Since version 2.6.3 is already quite old, you could consider updating
rsync
(on both machines) to a newer version (currently 3.0.2), if you can
do that.
This will let you use --no-o and --no-g , but, more importantly, give
you
several other advantages such as improved speed.
