I am the owner, at least it looks like that in Nautilus.
The very strange thing is that both links, the one in the receiving folder
and the one in the source folder, are exactly the same and the date is also
the same. I use the -u flag (-auv to be more precise), so why is rsync
trying to do anything with the link at all in the first place? Shouldn't it
just leave the link alone? I thought that was what -u was all about.
