I have the following command. This is meant to download all files from my server to the Downloads folder of my startup drive:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avve ssh --numeric-ids --delete --ignore-errors -R grndlvl@myserver.com:/usr/home/./grndlvl grndlvl@myserver.com:/usr/home/./grndlvl/mail_boxes/ grndlvl@myserver.com:/usr/home/./grndlvl/public_html/ /Volumes/'Macintosh HD'/Users/jeffrey/Downloads

This has always worked in the past, but now, I find that it's changing permissions for most of the directories so that a user called "_unknown" has rw, and Everyone has No access, and there are no other users. I even checked the permissions of one directory, which is all my mail boxes, and it has some weird "+" sign I've never seen before and can't be changed through the Finder, and I have no idea what chmod command would either create or eliminate it:

Code:

d-wxrw---x+   20 3004  1000      680 Feb  4 02:35 mail_boxes

As well, even when I do manually chmod the directories I am able to, the very next rsync changes them all back!

So what am I missing here?
