rsync cares about permissions when you tell it to care about
permissions.
OK. This should be clearly documented somewhere.
I guess that our system has used rsync to copy from server to backup, but
then cp to copy from backup to backup archive. And cp does not see changed
metadata. (Maybe this is worth noting somewhere, even if it is not related
to rsync.)
