I'm trying to set up a full server backup using rsync 3.0.6. I'm using
--fake-super, and SSH keys to access a remote server as a normal user.
My problem is that there is a local directory that has permissions 0111
("d--x--x--x"), and rsync throws an error trying to set the xattr:
rsync: failed to read xattr user.rsync.%stat for "/roach/backup/root/tcb/lib":
Permission denied (13)
It appears that rsync knows to create remote files with u+rw, but not
directories. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
The full command I'm using is:
rsync --stats -v -axH --inplace --delete --rsync-path="rsync --fake-super" /
u...@remote:/backup/root/
I have to put --fake-super in the remote command only, because the
system I'm backing up doesn't support extended attributes.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
