Wanting to change file permissions with rsync (or any other command) to 
something you don't have the right to do is a problem rightly solved by 
fixing your user permissions on Windows, and does not constitute a 
problem with rsync.  Something as ambitious as mirroring files plus 
their ownership and permissions does seem to imply elevated 
permissions.  Can this rsync be run as administrator?
