Comment (by eschnett):

 I prefer MDB entries that are as small as possible. Things that can be
 done automatically should be done automatically. Only things that are
 impossible to detect at run time should be in the MDB.

 I assume that rsync returns an error code. It should be easy to construct
 a command such as

 rsync-with-permissions || rsync-without-permissions

 which would do the "right thing" automatically.

 Or maybe even

 rsync-with-permissions || rsync-without-permissions || { ssh mkdir && {
 rsync-with-permissions || rsync-without-permissions } }
