According to --help:
--fake-super store/recover privileged attrs using xattrs
So I would assume which mode it uses when it reads the file,
depends on whether this option is on or off.

I don't believe it is possible. I think the misunderstanding stems from
the fact that the permissions are even stored in the xattr. They don't
need to be there but they may as well be. They don't take much space.
The real question would be when rsync reads the file to restore it and
the file perms are different than the ones in the xattr which set does
it use?

Thanks. This is a bit counter-intuitive to me. So how would you tell
rsync to store the original permissions in the xattr, but do not touch
the real file mode?
