Okay, on this particular server setup the server runs an Apache user — which I believe is what should be executing this rsync based on your previous post.

I changed the ownership of the files to apache:apache, and now it works like a charm. I also added my FTP user to the group apache, so that I can still edit and access those files as needed.

Update:

I think my issue is related to the user that rsync is using, as opposed to the owner of the actual files. What user does rsync use by default, or where can I look on my machine to find out?

Okay, my suspected solution did not work. Rsync just complained that the files weren’t there. I can email my debug file (level 3) if that would be helpful.

I ran into this problem specifically pushing my live site to a dev site on the same server. I’m going to try deleting all WP files on the dev site, and having SitePush create them so they’ll have the right permissions.

But I will still have this problem pushing from my dev environment to my production environment, where deleting all files and doing a push may not be an option.
