Hello,
  rsync v3.0.7
  I am backing up data to a USB memory drive that is formatted FAT32,
which does not comprehend linux permissions.
  I added the "--no-perms" option to the option set. rsync still
attempts to change the permissions.

OPTS = "--no-perms --archive --stats --delete --itemize-changes
- --quiet --exclude-from='${EXCL_FILE}"

Typical entry in the log file:
2011/10/07 10:27:10 [9597] .d...p..... sma-v3/sma-mailing-list/
2011/10/07 10:27:10 [9597] .f...p..... sma-v3/sma-mailing-list/index.php

IIRC the "p" indicates a permissions change.

  Is this to be expected?
