Is it possible that if the directory already exists, with the correct permissions, that Rsync will temporarily reset the directory to 'root-only' access if it needs to copy a second file? If it were possible to run Rsync as the correct UID this might resolve some problems?

@JeremyBoden It does not reset the permissions once the directory is created. 3 days ago, I created new directories on monday and the sync only broke once from one system. I'm positive setting correct UID in advance will solve this but I'm not so sure yet.
