rsync - Feb 2010 - Corrupt Windows executables - K-Lite setup programs only

Hi: I'm running rsync-3.0.7 from a freebsd-7.2 x32 box and a 
freebsd-8.0-x64 box. All files seem to replicate fine except the setup 
programs for K-Lite Codec Pack e.g.

[10667732 bytes]

[3072373 bytes]

The command options used to transfer are:
     rsync -v -4 -t -e ssh

After transfer, I try to execute the program and get a pop-up error 'The 
setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program'.
If I simply download the file directly to the target freebsd box via the 
URL above it executes fine [i.e. the original binary is not corrupt].

The problem occurs *consistently* with *any* version of the K-Lite 
setup/upgrade programs. And apparently only with these.

The byte sizes, mod times, and md5 signatures are identical on both sides:
10667732 Feb  3 15:33 K-Lite_Codec_Pack_570_Standard.exe
     MD5 (K-Lite_Codec_Pack_570_Standard.exe) = 
ab3a6fe763bf4fe79c1f00cfe556fee9
3072373 Feb  3 15:28 klcp_update_570_20100203.exe
     MD5 (klcp_update_570_20100203.exe) = 703c7ea4b11666fc4c37039528c0d905

I didn't see specific mention of this in bugzilla, wondered if it is a 
known issue or if others have repro'd.

Thanks

If the MD5 sums are the same on both sides, the files' contents are the 
same.  It's likely something to do with permissions or some other 
metadata.  Probably permissions.  (which a na?ve installer might report 
as 'corrupted', if it doesn't check explicitly for permissions
first.)
Kinda curious how you're running a Win32 .exe on FreeBSD, but maybe that 
adds another point of failure.
