I tried that earlier to no avail:

rclient01>id

uid=0(root) gid=1(other)

rclient01>rsync -avpz yam02::test /var/tmp/rsync_test

rclient01>ls -al /var/tmp/rsync_test

total 12
drwxr-xr-x   3 rwalkup  visitor      512 Oct 17 15:01 .
drwxrwxrwt   6 sys      sys         1536 Oct 17 15:00 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 rwalkup  visitor       79 Mar 13  2001 hosts
drwxr-xr-x   3 rwalkup  visitor      512 Mar 13  2001 inet
-rw-r--r--   1 rwalkup  visitor      330 Mar 21  2001 vfstab
