If you have the directory on mach a with the perms you want, then
why don't you just tar that dir up with the '-p' flag to preserve
permissions. Then make the directory where you want it and untar
it all, again using '-p' on the other machine .
It should do what I think you might be saying here.
on mach a:
cd /dir-you-want-to-move
tar cvpf ../stuff.tar *
move tar file to mach b
on mach b:
mkdir /where-you-want-stuff-to-go
cd /where-you-want-stuff-to-go
tar xvpf ./stuff.tar
voila!
