I'm not convinced that it's worth adding code to rsync to second-guess a
filesystem misconfiguration.  If the filesystem backing
root at slug::Downloads is always mounted read-only, you should just set
"read only = yes" for the module in the daemon configuration; then
pushes will abort immediately.
