We use AFS to store backups of locally stored files on Linux systems. I've been trying to automate this by scripting with rsync or showing the users how to use unison. However, there is some trouble because the files on the AFS system appear to be owned by a user "sync" and so rsync thinks that every file has the wrong permissions. Suppose X is the local hard disk and Y is the AFS mounted share. Even if all files are the same, the "rsync -ra X Y" command thinks that every file needs updating because the permissions aren't correct. Further, when rsync runs, the terminal fills up with errors
