any such program should also have the ability to 'use local permissions
and ignore remote ones' such as rsync called with -rltvH rather than
-avH.

sometimes the remote site (master) has 'strange' permissions (e.g the
execute bit set) where i'd prefer simple umask settings (0644 result)
to default instead.

well, that's my wishlist anyway.  oh and does omi have the ability
to do hard linking at this point or is that something that isn't
likely to happen with ftp based sync programs ?
