Some, perhaps most but definitely some, of the files and folders that were transferred from the old site to the new via rsync do not seem to exhibit the expected behaviour with respect to user permissions while flies and folders that have been created since the transfer do. For example: A folder X was transferred from the old site while folder Y has been newly created on the present site. A file that can be moved into and out of folder Y cannot be placed into folder X due to a permissions problem. And yet both folders reside in the same directory node and have the exact same permissions and ownership. Is there any explanation for this? I have searched but I cannot seem to find anything on this specific problem. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
