That's not possible. If rsync is not allowed, it is because rsync is not 
running as the owner of the files. Check it. Or run it as root.

My guess is that you are making a backup to a different user (different 
uid). That will not do, you will have to change the ownership. Either 
you do it as root, or use tricks.
