The "netegrity" in that command is a module name, not a directory, so
that name is not duplicated in the destination.  If the module contains
a nested netegrity directory, then switching your source to use
"jon at linuxhost::netegrity/netegrity" will ensure that the parent
directory's permissions/ownership don't affect the test dir.  If not,
switching the destination to "/users/jon/test/netegrity" will put the
contents of the module in that directory (which may be what you were
expecting to happen).
