In my mirror.default file, there are the following lines:
# Don't mirror file modes. Set all dirs/files to these
dir_mode=0755
file_mode=0444
which explicitly restrict the mirroring of file and dir modes, I would say that
you probably have similar directives in your configuration. The absence of
these lines should indeed mirror the modes as well.
