rsync: failed to set permissions on "<filename>": Function not implemented (38)

[Noah]

Hi there,

No response on the rsync mail list so I am trying here.

I am trying to figure out how I can get my rsync client and server to 
coexist better.  I am running into the following error:


rsync: failed to set permissions on "<filename>": Function not 
implemented (38)

and the command line is

     /usr/bin/rsync --recursive --compress --human-readable --progress 
--update --perms -avz '/Applications' -e 'ssh -p 22 -o 
ServerAliveInterval=10' --relative --delete root@<hostname>:/<directory>


What can I do to alleviate these errors?

Cheers,
Noah
