The -p preserves the date/time and modes, but not the actual UID/GID.
Try using rsync with ssh instead, something like:
rsync -avz -e ssh --delete /home/ user at host:/home
This has the added benefit that if it fails midway (network dies, e.g.)
you can just re-run it to start where you left off. Note the trailing
slash on the source /home/, that's important.
