with how things get run at startup, but I'm assuming that things that get

As Mike mentioned above it looks like you didnt use the -a (preserve)
option in rsync which means the files were created with wrong (local)
permissions at the destination. You probably did another mistake and used
/source/recordings instead /source/recordings/ which also changed the owner
of recordings directory too. Also note here that for all this to work
properly you need to have the same user with same uid and gid in both
source and destination systems.
