Thank you for your report.
The "-p" is defined to replicate permission bits, not user or group
ownership. You want "-pog" for permissions and user and group ownership.
Since rsync is working as defined here, I don't think this is a bug. If
you disagree, please explain and reopen.

Title:
rsync preserve permission does not work
Status in “rsync” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi,
I am a regular user of rsync on various systems, giving parameters
'-prH' or '-prHl' to shift data over to other locations while
retaining correct permissions.
Today (Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bits, rsync 3.1.0) I descovered the '-p'
parameter is not working. As root I'm copying the contents of the home
directory to a new location, but the owner/group is set as root.root,
not the intended user.
This is incorrect operation, and can be problematic for people who
automatically schedule rsync operations.
I can work around this (using tar and untar), but that is not as
cool/simple/efficient as using rsync.
Greetings,
Gerben
