When you run it and it starts downloading stuff, the question is then where is it putting it? Really over the top of what is there or down somewhere unexpected. If you start re-running rsync twice, with -v -v, before ^C-ing out, is it re-downloading the same initial files both times, or actually building a new destination tree somewhere file by file? If it always redownloads the same initial file, manually fixup the ownership on that file in the destination and see if that changes matters... but I don't think it takes this into account. -Andy
