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?
