Rsync permission issue

I have been continuing to research this.  The problem appears as follows:  
 
1.  The directory where the data is to be copied is owned by the a specific user assigned to each server and the group rsync (a local user I setup to run the daemon).  Others have no rights to the directory.
 
When rsync creates a sub-directory it assigns no rights at all to it:  d----------------
 
I have tried the -p option on the client but it does not help.

Currently running latest version of rsync---recompiled last night.
 
Client is windows w/ cygwin.
 
thx

I am connecting to my rsync server as follows:

ssh -f -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -C -l SOMEUSER -L 8730:localhost:873 SOMEHOST sleep 40
rsync -av rsync://localhost:8730/module /dest
My LAN servers connect w/o incident or problems.  However-  I am trying to connect in a remote server and it is giving me some grief.

What is strange is some files and directories copy with no problem at all.  I am trying to decide if the problem is on the server (rsync) or client side.
 
The client is a windows machine (server 2000).  I verifide that the "active user" has full permissions to the file that are going to be xferred.
 
On the server-- I am running rsync as the user rsync and on the directory I am uploading to the group rsync has rwx rights.
 
I have realized I am running and older version and am currently upgrading to the latest.
 
So what causes sporadic failures on uploads....also it seems as if rsync (client) eventually hangs.  If i restart rsyncd and sshd on the server it releases itself from the server and issues clear up.  I have been able to successfully sync small directories.  I noticed one of the dir's has an " ' " in it...will this cause a problem.  Do windows files / dir names need to be modifed before copying up to rsync server.
 
As usual-   TIA  :)  Hopefully I'll be able to answer some of these in the near future.
