ahh..

going from OS X, to a linux box with a samba share, it reports on most of
the files that the permissions/owner/group is different.. even with the -a
option.

And to think i read the faq a few times looking for details on why the rsync
process was dropping out, but i must have skimmed over that one.

thanks!
