rsync/mirroring permissions problem

hi all
i'm trying to do a 'push' rsync operation to mirror the contents of my websites root directory on one machine over to a remote machine. rsync is installed on both machines. the command i'm using to rsync is
rsync -e ssh -avz --exclude "/phpSysInfo" --exclude "/webalizer" --exclude "/phpMyAdmin" --delete --stats /usr/local/www/data-dist/ remote.machine.com=:/usr/local/www/data-dist/
this works, for the most part. the majority of files on the remote directory are sync'ed correctly after the operation. the problem is - this websites root directory is owned by one user - webuser, who is a member of group - webuser. various subdirectories inside of the websites root folder are owned by other users, who are also members of the 'webuser' group. the files/folders in the websites root direcotry are chmod'ed 775.
this causes problems with the rsync operation, as i'm rsync'ing as webuser:webuser. i get errors during the rsync process such as
failed to set permissions on studentwork/winter03old/war/images : Operation not permitted
again, the majority of files sync correctly. but can anyone recommend a good way around this? i'm not able at this point to limit the websites root directory to only one user account...
thanks
redmond
