There should be some globals.....  It sucks to have to list the same things 30 times, both for local and remote destinations (on this loghost, anyways).

Why can't there be a

options {
        files (owner(root) group(root) perm(0640) dir_perm(0755));
};

as a global option????  It would sure help to keep things a tad bit simpler and cleaner.....
