You need rsync 2.6.7 or newer to use the --chmod option.  If DeltaCopy
is not being updated with newer versions of rsync, you could replace the
rsync.exe that comes with DeltaCopy with one you compile yourself from
the source ( http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/ ) or take from a recent
version of cwRsync ( http://itefix.no/cwrsync/ ).
