The -a actually is a shortcut for -rlptogoD, so all you really need is -avz as options. If you could provide an ls -la of the source and remote directories, that would help tremendously. One thing that comes to mind is to be sure that userA.userA has the same UID & GID on both servers. In my case, where I'm rsyncing to a remote server and the UID/GID don't match, you'll just get numeric IDs as owners and groups on the remote side. So, try eliminating the duplicate options first, be sure UID/GID are the same on both servers. Let us know how it goes. HTH Thanks!
