root permission & rsync

i'm doing a rsync of vpopmail's domain folder that has a ownership of vpopmail:vchkpw and chmod of 700. Right now i'm logging-in through ssh using root. If I create another user with in the root group, will it still have the same "god like" permission as user root to access this folder?

Yes, however this is HIGHLY undesirable.

Why not just rsync to root on the other host?
