AW: ssh + permissions

The "-a" option (the  "--links", "--perms",
"--devices", and "--times" options are redundant, as
they, as well as "--owner", "--group", and
"--recursive"  are implied by
"-a" )does dictate that permissions on files being sent be brought
over
from the source.  Are all files losing permissions, or only files being
skipped because they are newer than those on the source (because -f the
"-u" option)?  Root privilege is irrelevant to preservation of
permissions.  Root privilege is needed only to do things regular users
cannot, such as changing ownership, overriding privileges, etc..

The command I am using is:

rsync -avx --hard-links --links --ignore-errors  --perms --devices
--times --stats --progress -e ssh -u / rsync@host:/dir

and the permissions on the source are not appearing on the destination
and the destination ssh-account has no root-rights.

Should it work like this ?
