[ale] Rsync Permissions Question

Jeff,  Basically there are no existing permissions when copying from
the WinME system.  Therefore your Linux system is using 'umask' to
determine file permissions.  Based on your 644 settings, your umask is
set to 022.  This shouldn't be a bad thing, unless some of the files
you are RSync'ing are cgi executables and need the x bit set.
