Running 'rsync' as root misses files

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I was wondering, I run (inside another program) 'rsync' as 'root' 
using '--files-from'. It seems to error though on files with permissions 
where 'everyone' does not have read permissions (ie: permissions of 
'0640').

   Is this the normal behaviour for 'rsync' could I be missing something?

Thanks!
