The underlying problem is that you are trying to rsync to a windows type file system. Or probably more correctly what is presented to you as a windows file system. This will prevent you from correctly preserving owners and groups and such because windows has a different notion of such things. If you want to preserve those file attributes, you would be better off mounting the drive as an NFS drive if the Synology allows for that.
