AW: ssh + permissions

The "-a" option (the  "--links", "--perms", "--devices", and "--times" options are redundant, as 
they, as well as "--owner", "--group", and "--recursive"  are implied by 
"-a" )does dictate that permissions on files being sent be brought over 
from the source.  Are all files losing permissions, or only files being 
skipped because they are newer than those on the source (because -f the 
"-u" option)?  Root privilege is irrelevant to preservation of 
permissions.  Root privilege is needed only to do things regular users 
cannot, such as changing ownership, overriding privileges, etc..

The command I am using is:

rsync -avx --hard-links --links --ignore-errors  --perms --devices
--times --stats --progress -e ssh -u / rsync at host:/dir

and the permissions on the source are not appearing on the destination
and the destination ssh-account has no root-rights.

Should it work like this ?
