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?
