New: afio backups, directory ownership?

  Please post the patch. There is a -x option, which I confidently
tested and found worked... my test was wrong (sorry jay).

  The use of the -x flag creates the directory with the correct group,
rather than default, but not user. It also won't chnage the date
modified, user or group if the directory already exists. I hope the
patch you have fixes this, although I admit I only use afio when there's
no real cpio to be had.
