Im not sure on the details of the rsync one yet but the archive one is clear.
If I have a tar.gz with with files in when I expand these using cygwin due
to the issue with inheriance the files get owned strictly by the current user /
group. Now when another user comes to access said files they cant
even though they should as the permissions should have been inherited.

Will look at getting a reproducable senario up and running then will
report back for the rsync issue. I was forced to use other means to
correct the original situation I was seeing the error in.

Hehe I don't think I would do that even on an off day :P

Thanks for your time so far Larry appreciated.
