Changing it to false makes rsync work. Moreover, I just found http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003386.html so this is a known problem. I have added "--numeric-ids" to the client and this also makes it work again (and I like that better than turning chroot off). Thanks for your help! Gerald
