Cool, but it does not help.

If I am user2 (id=1002) but the disk (jfs) is mounted as
user1 (id=1000) I *cannot* copy files via rsync to the disk
even with the options you mentioned, user2 can simply not
write on that disk via rsync.

One option would to do:

 rsync -auvzx  /home/user2/dir user1 at localhost:/media/disk/user1

But then I need the password of user1....
