Having finally (!) mounted my new NAS drive I am working on rsync. I
have a prototype command:

rsync -rpt --delete /media/jjj/Movies/* /media/jjj/Synology

But to test it I created a 0 byte file 'test' in the source folder, and
changed the * to test in the above command. At first the command failed
with a permissions error (although I thought I had read that rsync does
not require sudo), so I executed the command with sudo. This worked
without error and the file appeared in the destination. To make sure I
still owned it I right-clicked on it with Thunar, then Properties >
Permissions. All the permissions are grayed out and the owner is listed
as 1026. Checking users and permissions I am user 1000. Yet, in spite
of the fact that some strange user owns the file, as jjj I can delete
it, rename it, etc.

So where did user 1026 come from?
