You can only chgrp a file to the group you are a member of.
Name vs. ID is a non-issue. All actions are based on ID,
not name. If and --numeric-ids is not active the receiver
does a translation in the file list of the IDs it can find
with matching names.
Do an ls -l of source and link-dest, _any_ differences aside
from link-count and inode# matter.
