rsync - Oct 2010 - rsync: failed to set permissions on "<filename>": Function not implemented (38)

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out how I can get my rsync client and server to 
coexist better.  I am running into the following error:


rsync: failed to set permissions on "<filename>": Function not 
implemented (38)

and the command line is

     /usr/bin/rsync --recursive --compress --human-readable --progress 
--update --perms -avz '/Applications' -e 'ssh -p 22 -o 
ServerAliveInterval=10' --relative --delete
root@<hostname>:/<directory>


What can I do to alleviate these errors?

Cheers,
Noah

I recommend you start with providing sufficient information, so that
someone might be responds with more than general comments.  Obviously, you
need to indicate the client and host platforms and the rsync versions
these platforms are running.

Offhand it appears that the server does not support a mode change
requested by the client.

Adding --itemize-changes might help you identify if the error is specific
to a particular file.
