The remote rsync command runs as your user, not as root, and so cannot set ownership. IIRC there's an environment variable you can set that specifies how to invoke the remote rsync (post-ssh, there's an end var for establishing the ssh connection, too). Set that to "sudo rsync", would be my guess. -Adam
