Do not preserve ownership, mode or directory times when syncing - #8

The backup runs as nginx and the archive directories belong to whoever seeded them (or another instance), so rsync -a failed every chgrp/chown with EPERM and reported exit 23 on each run. Ownership and mode on the destination do not matter: rsync creates files as the copying user and nginx only reads its own local copy. File mtimes are still preserved because --update and find -newer depend on them.
