           Summary: Permission denied as root when no read for other
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core

ISSUE:
When I'm running rsync as root (daemon and client sides) on a directory with no
rights for other (chmod 750), I get an error message: "failed: Permission
denied (13)"
Is it the expected behaviour for rsync? 

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
Make a test directory to share with rsync:
    # id
    uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
    # mkdir /test/
    # touch /test/myNiceFile
Remove the rights for Other:
    # chmod o-rx /test/
    # ls -al /test/
    total 8
    drwxr-x---.  2 root root 4096 Apr 18 13:31 .
    dr-xr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Apr 18 13:31 ..
    -rw-r--r--.  1 root root    0 Apr 18 13:31 myNiceFile
Edit the config file
    # cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
    [test-rsync]
        path    = /test/
Start the daemon as root:
    # rsync --daemon
Run the sync (on the localhost) also as root:
    # rsync -avzH localhost::test-rsync /tmp/
    receiving incremental file list
    rsync: change_dir "/" (in test-rsync) failed: Permission denied (13)
    sent 4 bytes  received 6 bytes  20.00 bytes/sec
    total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
    rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1505) [receiver=3.0.6]

I was able to reproduce on RHEL 5.8, Fedora 18, Debian 6.0 and Ubuntu 10.04.
