hi all

i'm trying to do a 'push' rsync operation to mirror the contents of my webs=
ites root directory on one machine over to a remote machine.  rsync is inst=
alled on both machines.  the command i'm using to rsync is

rsync -e ssh -avz --exclude "/phpSysInfo" --exclude "/webalizer" --exclude =
"/phpMyAdmin" --delete --stats /usr/local/www/data-dist/ remote.machine.com=
=3D:/usr/local/www/data-dist/=20

this works, for the most part. the majority of files on the remote director=
y are sync'ed correctly after the operation.  the problem is - this website=
s root directory is owned by one user - webuser, who is a member of group -=
 webuser.  various subdirectories inside of the websites root folder are ow=
ned by other users, who are also members of the 'webuser' group.  the files=
/folders in the websites root direcotry are chmod'ed 775.

this causes problems with the rsync operation, as i'm rsync'ing as webuser:=
webuser.  i get errors during the rsync process such as

failed to set permissions on studentwork/winter03old/war/images : Operation=
 not permitted

again, the majority of files sync correctly.  but can anyone recommend a go=
od way around this?  i'm not able at this point to limit the websites root =
directory to only one user account...

thanks
redmond
