No.  The source system is a Windows machine running cygwin-rsyncd.

Yea, i figured as much.  I was hoping that rsync could manually change
the ownership, or that perhaps there was some acl setting that could
be used to say "All files that get created in this directory will
always have the same owner and group."

No can do.  As mentioned above, the source system is a 'doze box.
