rsync problem

[James Mcphee]

Something to also pay attention to, some filesystems don't support all the
options that rsync tries to set, like users and permissions.  In that case,
it's necessary to do rsync with a flag besides "-a" and pull the
unsupported bits out of the "-rlptgoD".  This is suboptimal, since a lot of
those fields are also part of the matching for changes, but ....

Anyway, something to think about.
