"-a" implies "-o -D", both of which require root access.

The "-t" option says "preserve timestamps" and if the two machines are
out of time sync, you can certainly get errors of that nature.  If you
don't need the timestamps, then omit the "t" from the command options
and let the destination file have the ctime, mtime and atime set to the
current date and time.  I'd also highly recommend you fire up ntpd and
get the machines you deal with synchronized.
