[Dovecot] dsync changing source permission to "root" in backup mode

[Peter Mogensen]

Hi,

We have dsync failing once in a while when running in "backup" mode.
What's strange is that the result is that the file permissions on the 
*source* machine ends up with the wrong permissions (set to uid 0).

Even though the dsync manual clearly says:
"Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if 
-R parameter is given). No changes are ever done to the source location. 
Any changes done in destination are discarded."

Running: 'dsync -R -o mail_home=/users/maildir backup ssh -c arcfour 
src-host "dsync -o mail_home=/users/maildir"'

I know it's running as root, but even then ... it shouldn't modify the 
source in "backup" mode ??

The error message from dsync when failing is:

dsync-remote(root): Error: Cached message size larger than expected
