But I did some more investigation and have a bit more information:
(1) This happens only if I don't own the destination directory. If I
own the directory, the time on it gets set. If I don't own the
directory (and even though the group access gives me rwx) the time
doesn't get set. As the same user (not owning the directory, and logged
into the remote machine), I can touch the directory to change its date
with no problem. This sounds like maybe we're getting closer to the
root of the problem (or am I misunderstanding something about
permissions or about what rsync is trying to do?).
Sounds like another OSX bug.
Indeed, it seems that the utime() call in darwin fails with EPERM if the target is not owned by the caller. I'll take this up with the darwin folks. The behavior (to fail for this case) matches the darwin man page for utime(), but doesn't seem to match the opengroup spec for utime().
