Thanks, I'd already read that in this group and it helped a lot! :)

The main problem remaining is just that its creating permissions that 
didn't exist on the files prior to the copy.  eg.  If I do a network 
copy (its my test environment, the real thing will be across the 
internet) the files have the same permissions as they started with.  If 
I rsync them, Admin and Everyone only get read access.  Thats what I 
need to change.  I'm running rsync over ssh from dos bat files.  Its not 
going to be interactive.  I don't think I can chown or chmod the files 
once copied (can that be done over ssh non-interactively?).

Matt.
