Thanks for the quick reply!

In fact, the mode is beeing truncated. The fprintf yields the following:

0100000755      (the directory)
0300000755      (a regular file)

So, it seems that my system is not compliant to the values that rsync expects. 
In fact, my system is a mainframe running Unix System Services, but this system 
is compliant 
to POSIX.  
Previously I was running rsync-2.6.9 on that system and it was working well. 

Thanks!
Jan
