suid files and bsd

[Steve]

Excuse my poor question/phrasing I am in alot of pain and on alot of fun
drugs.

hosta = backup machine
hostb = rsync client 

hosta has a filesytem labelled /backup. It is mounted as rw,nosuid
hostb is sucessfully backing up all files except ones currently suid. 

I would gather that it would copy the file over just ignore the +s bit in
the file... I hope this is more clear.
