For testing I copied over the whole /usr directory from my Vista box to
a Linux machine. I'm rather puzzled how setting permissions on the
*remote* machine should be affected by the OS of the source machine.
I guess we need much more information. Are the affected directories
Cygwin-created directories or natively created dirs? Do they contain
spaces or native characters? What are the local permissions on them
(getfacl/cacls)? Does your Vista account have admin privileges? UAC
switched on? If so, is rsync running normally with reduced privileges
or "as administrator"? Is your remote Unix account root or non-root?
