Apparently I misremembered how I fixed the problem and don't have all
the details written down. What I have found is this. I don't have it in
exclude lists - I guess that didn't work. I do run a script that I found
here:
<http://www.devheads.net/linux/ubuntu/user/homeusergvfs-causing-problems-rsync.htm>

(the script follows "I ran into the same problem using dirvish")

IIRC correctly, the ownership and root not being able to see it is a
deliberate part of the design - a broken design IMHO.

Cheers, Dave
