I just realized that this was a local copy, and the other symptom, numeric
uids showing on the ls, for users which exist, and some which show none at
all, indicate a problem with your operating system. The only time i've
ever seen blank uids was with a corrupt filesystem. My particular case
was a failing drive. I suppose you could fake up blank usernames by
creating a user named "asdf^h^h^h^h ", but i'm guessing that's not the
case here.

Classification:
Nope.. happens consistentlt. I even removed a directory at the destination
and reran rsync. All the files were move, but the numeric id shows instead
if the alpabetic group...no owner either.
