Thanks Wayne  :-)

Further to my earlier reply/thanks ...

That worked as expected on Slackware64 13.1 (rsync version 3.0.7) but is not
working on CentOS 5.5 (rsync version 2.6.8).  When running as the default
"nobody", rsync server created directories without the x permission.
Configuring rsync to run as root worked around the problem for rsync server
but did not set "other x".  Now that is needed.  Is there anything to try
apart from building and installing current version of rsync?
