Weird behavior with rsync and permission creep

[Bryan O'Neal]

BTW you were correct it was altering the parent folders permissions to
match.  It did not used to but hey, I am sure I changes something along
the way ;)

I just dumped the backups into a sub directory on the backup[ server and
life was good.  Thanks for pointing this out :)

It shouldn't be since the directories have different groups and
different permissions.  Truth is I don't pay much attention to it since
I do ACL on everything.  I have changed the permissions on both
directories to match but I need them to be rwxrwx--- or else I have
problems with my windows users writing to the samba shares.  I will run
the experiment and see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Is it setting the permissions on the target to match the permissions on 
the source dir?
